On August 25–26, we came together at The Claggett Center in Adamstown, MD for the 2025 Peer-Run Wellness & Recovery Organizations Leadership Retreat. With the theme One Network, Many Leaders: Building Together for Lasting Change, we focused on sustaining the peer movement through leadership development and expansion of the On Our Own Network. This retreat gave affiliate and associate leaders the chance to connect, strategize, and strengthen our collective vision for growth, advocacy, and empowerment. We’d like to thank Kimberli Gross, M.A. and Keyonna Council of Celebrate Still, Inc for their custom leadership training, Stronger at the Core: Leadership Training for Peer-Led Mission Driven Teams. Together, we are building a stronger network and a brighter future.
