The peer support model has been very well studied and has consistently been found to facilitate supportive interpersonal relationships and to foster increased resiliency.  Our peer support workers, staff and volunteers alike, are uniquely able to help others by listening empathically and sharing invaluable coping strategies.  We are not therapists, but the services we offer provide significant therapeutic value.

Our Mission

Umbrella actively promotes understanding, acceptance and support for people affected by substance use and mental health issues through advocacy, education and other assistance.

Our Vision

That, someday, communities will embrace and support all those affected by substance use and mental health problems
