WHO WE ARE

Project Return Peer Support Network is a unique mental health nonprofit where staff utilize lived experience to support and serve others with mental health challenges.

Originally founded as Project Return in 1980 as part of Mental Health America Los Angeles, PRPSN holds the distinction of being the first “peer” mental health program in California. Peers bring personal knowledge of what it’s like to live with and recover from mental health conditions, giving them a unique ability to connect with others.

We advocate to eliminate the stigma by sharing our stories of recovery and provide hope and empowerment to those we serve by holding the belief that all people living with mental health challenges can recover.
