The Merrifield Peer Resource Center (PRC) at the CSB's Sharon Bulova Center is a living example of Hope, Recovery, and Wellness.

The Center is a free resource for adults recovering from mental health, addiction and co-occurring disorders. Peer Recovery Specialists (PRSs) and volunteers share their lived experiences with similar challenges in an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere of support and encouragement through:

  • Individual peer support PRSs are ready to help you:
    • One-on-one, individualized support
    • Applying for food stamps, SNAP, medical care, general support, SSI/SSDI, birth certificates, IDs
    • Finding housing, communicating with health providers, and recommending helpful community resources
    • Developing advance directives, which allow you to plan for health care decisions – mental and physical – when you are unable to make those decisions for yourself, and more
  • Peer support groups are available on a variety of topics: Recovery, wellness, self-advocacy, pathways to healing, channeling emotions through art and creative writing, resiliency, combatting loneliness, trauma-informed support, and more. See a full list of programs on the Centers for Opportunity website.

The Center has a variety of quality programs.

Stop by the Center today and connect with others through groups, activities, and one-on-one peer support.
