Our Mission

At Our Space, our mission is to empower individuals living with mental illness and substance abuse issues to achieve their full potential by providing recovery-oriented, strength-based, person-centered services in a safe and accepting environment.

Our Space provides recovery-oriented, person-centered services that foster empowerment, independence, and community integration for individuals living with mental health and/or substance use challenges.

We believe in the power of lived experience, peer support, and self-determination, guiding individuals to build resilience, self-sufficiency, and meaningful connections.

Through peer-led support, education, employment opportunities, and community engagement, we strive to break down barriers to care, reduce stigma, and create a more inclusive society for all.
