Peer Place Support Center

About This Service

Peer Place is a support center for adults recovering from mental illness and addiction.  We have almost 100 support groups per month on a variety of topics and offer AA and NA on Saturday mornings.  We also have fun activities like jewelry making, pot lucks, and more.  Most important, we offer a non-judgmental place where people can work on their own recovery goals with the assistance of Peer Mentors– people with lived experience with mental illness who can truly understand what you are experiencing and who can help.  Our address is 2100 45th St., West Palm Beach, FL Suite B12

What Others Have to Say

Here are what Peer Place participants say about Peer Place:

“I like participating in activities and helping out the peer mentors as much as I can.  I feel included when I come here, and that’s why I keep coming back.”

“Peer Place saved my life!”

“For me [Peer Place] is a safe haven… If Peer Place were not open today I would be in my apartment isolating. Peer Place also helps because if I am having a problem, it is a place where I can talk to someone and get a different view on the problem and options on how to deal with the problem. Without Peer Place, I would not be doing anything except isolation and slowly deteriorating mentally. So this place helps.”

“Peer Place gave me a better will to live.”
