Peer Support Groups

PRPSN manages a network of more than 150 peer led support groups throughout Los Angeles County and online. Groups meet weekly in a variety of locations including inpatient settings, Board and Care homes, shelters, outpatient clinics and community spaces putting peer support within easy reach of interested individuals. We offer over 30 groups in Spanish.

Groups are 1-2 hours once a week and are led by credible messengers—people with lived experience. Each group is individualized and is self-directed and range in focus from discussion/processing groups to activity-based groups like Yoga and Zumba to socialization groups in the community. Activities and curriculum are created by the group facilitators, participants and supported by our team of Regional Coordinators. For many, these peer support groups are the first steps towards recovery, self-help and wellness.
