R Place Peer Center

R Place Peer Center R Place is a free, peer-run center for adults living with mental health conditions. Can't make it in-person? R Place offers Remote Peer Support! Come hang out!

Talk over the phone or via Zoom to one of our Peer Support Specialists, who have lived experience with mental illness. You can use the time to discuss whatever has been on your mind and receive emotional support, help with referrals, and learn new coping skills. Email rps@namijc.org or call or text 319-855-1966 to sign up today! We offer a safe space based in hope, support, and advocacy. At R Place, we build community, set goals, hold each other accountable, create and share boundaries, and make referrals to other local organizations as necessary.

Hope can happen, but not by accident.

We prevent su***de by talking about it. By checking in. By staying when it’s uncomfortable. By knowing the number.

You don’t have to have the perfect words. You just have to reach out.
