This month, we’re excited to highlight Chris, one of our outstanding Peer Recovery Coaches. 🌟 When asked about Chris, a teammate shared:

"Chris is an endlessly curious person, which lends itself directly to being truly committed to meeting everyone where they are. He is particularly skilled at making connections between participants and resources and bringing those together however the participant feels is best for them."

Chris’s curiosity, insight, and thoughtful approach help him build meaningful connections that truly support each participant’s journey. His ability to listen, adapt, and guide with care strengthens our community and inspires everyone around him.

We’re so grateful to have Chris on our team — his dedication, heart, and skill make a real difference every day.

Mental health peer support connects people who’ve been there. It offers understanding, trust, and guidance that supports wellness and reduces isolation. 🌱

❄️ Winter items are still welcome!

Our MHA Indy Peer Team is always accepting donations to support the community. Right now, we have winter coats to share — and every week, your donations bring so much joy to those we serve.

This week, we’ve seen a growing need for those stepping into parenthood. Gently used or new clothing, diapers, formula, bottles, blankets, or pacifiers go a long way in making a difference.

Questions? Check our “About” section for Director contacts. Thank you for helping us spread warmth and care! 🩵
