Peers Helping Peers: A Mood Disorder Group💚💙

Do you live with a mood disorder? You are not alone! Join us at R Place Peer Recovery Center in Iowa City for a new IN-PERSON support group designed specifically for individuals navigating mood disorders. 🌱

🗓 When? Sundays, 5 PM – 7 PM
📍 Where? R Place Peer Recovery Center, 702 S. Gilbert St., Suite 111, Iowa City, IA 52245

This group is peer-led, meaning it’s facilitated by two individuals with lived experience managing mood disorders. Together, we’ll share experiences, support one another, and use a mood chart to help relate our emotions and progress.

💬 Looking for community, understanding, and support? This is a safe space where you can connect with others who truly get it. Whether you’re looking for guidance, friendship, or just a place to be heard, we welcome you!

For more information, reach out to Leann at 📧 leann.cortimiglia@namijc.org or 📞 319-354-3455.

*Weather Notice: If there is inclement weather, meetings may be canceled. Please check KCRG (kcrg.com/weather/closings) or email Leann for updates.*
