The Peer Company

Our Vision: MHAAO is committed to promoting self-directed recovery and wellness for all individuals. We honor lived experiences.

The Peer Company (formerly Mental Health and Addiction Association of Oregon) is an inclusive peer-run organization dedicated to self-direction honoring the voice of lived experience. We support people wherever they are on their journey, free from judgment, or agenda. We support these aims through education, advocacy, recovery peer services, training, technical assistance, community collaboration, and through developing the peer workforce and leadership.

El Jardín will host a Día de los Mu***os community gathering on Thursday, October 30, from 4:30–6:30 PM.

This event honors the loved ones we’ve lost to overdose and beyond. Bring a photo or memento to place on the altar, and connect with others through food, music, and shared remembrance.

At 5 PM, they’ll host a Harm Reduction and Overdose Prevention Training (1 CEU) to honor their lives by helping ensure no one else loses theirs to overdose.

The Keys to Success Program in Washington County is helping young people navigate substance use and the justice system with the support they deserve.

Through this collaborative program, our recovery mentor provides consistent, trusted peer support to youth and their families, walking beside them as they take steps toward healing and stability. For some, she is the only consistent person in their lives who understands what they are going through and can walk alongside them as they take steps toward a brighter future.

We’re proud to be part of a program that shows young people that recovery and growth are possible.
