There is a Heat Advisory in Boise (again...). Please take care of yourself and remember that you can come cool off and get hydrated at PEER!

07/01/2025

The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for Boise today from 12Noon to 7PM. During a heat advisory, it is important to prioritize staying cool, hydrated, and informed. Limit strenuous outdoor activities, especially during peak heat, and seek air-conditioned spaces when possible. Drink plenty of fluids, wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothing, and check on vulnerable individuals like the elderly and young children.

PEER is stocked up on cold water bottles, frozen popsicles and just installed misters in our new outdoor patio. If you are out and about, be sure to stop by and take a refreshing break from the heat.

"Can we talk?"
Every family is unique, but all families share a bond that can be used to support one another during trying times.
While there is no one-size-fits-all solution for helping a family member who is drinking too much, using drugs, or dealing with a mental illness, research shows that family support can play a major role in helping a loved one with mental and substance use disorders.
