    PMHCA was awarded DDAP’s Recovery Hub grant in July 2024, and we are now in the final stages of developing this grant years strategic plan. As we look ahead to the upcoming year, we want to hear directly from you—providers, peers, and individuals in recovery.

    We want to know:

    • What’s working well in your recovery community?
    • What challenges or barriers are you facing?
    • What services or supports are missing?
    • How can we innovate and grow together?

    Your voice is essential in shaping a plan that truly meets the needs of our region. Let’s build a stronger, more responsive recovery network—together.
