Military Peer Network provides one-on-one peer support sessions, veteran peer groups, and Veteran Treatment Court support. Our goal is to increase access to Military-informed culturally competent mental health providers and to create an inclusive environment where service members, veterans, and family members can gather with their peers to share experiences and create supportive relationships.

Our Military Veteran Peer Network consists of volunteers who are veterans, service members, and family members, all working together to create a more supportive community for our veterans.

Make a real difference in someone's life. Join our Intellectual Developmental Disabilities Client Advocacy Committee. The member would review and approve individual behavior plans/programs. These plans ensure that an individual receiving services rights are protected and that the program is meeting their needs in order to keep them safe and protected. This is a great chance to be an advocate and support someone with an intellectual developmental disability. Volunteers must have experience in working with individuals with intellectual developmental disabilities. The Committee meets quarterly through Zoom. You must be 18 years of age. 

Come join the Lifepath Systems Foundation Board.  We focus on fundraising and raising awareness in our community in order to support the programs/services of Lifepath Systems (Mental Health, Substance Use Disorder, Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, and Early Childhood Intervention).  We meet on the third Wednesday of the month from 11:30-1:00, both face-to-face and virtual options are available.  Looking for someone with fundraising experience and active in our community.

We need some very special volunteers for our new Local Outreach to Suicide Survivors (LOSS) program.  The LOSS team volunteers are those who have been impacted by a suicide death or have a passion for suicide prevention.  Volunteers provide support and comfort to the family either at the scene or after the suicide and supply community resources and other materials.   A volunteer working closely with the bereaved may be someone who has experienced the loss of a loved one to suicide and uses their story of loss and recovery to connect with the person or persons who have lost a loved one to suicide.  We also need administrative assistance such as data entry, creating documents or organizing packets.  The schedule is flexible.

We hold recovery-oriented social events, work to promote sustained recovery and wellness, and promote recovery culture. What worked for you? Can you commit to helping others in recovery?
