RCPS Needs Volunteer Peer Support Providers to help support those in our community.
RCPS upholds its values, and we want to be transparent with our process and our goals. That is why this page is visible to the public.
RCPS and our national organization MHJEF will be porting our online website and platform to alternative webhosting in the future, to improve our design, accessibility, and features.
Through our values we create hope in ourselves and each other through compassion, collaboration, tears, and laughter by connecting with each other and our community; acknowledging our pain and suffering and our moments of joy while supporting each other; working to eliminate barriers of access and mental health stigma; and creating and promoting meaningful awareness and safety.
