The PLACE for Empowerment

The PLACE for Empowerment is a space for young adults ages 16-22 who may be struggling with mental health, substance use, trauma or feeling disconnected. The center is free for youth and funded by the Department of Mental Health. 
 
The PLACE is born out of the peer movement that believes we must all guide our own journey to healing. We are committed to the belief that communal support can be helpful throughout that journey. The program serves as a youth and young adult resource center to provide access to community supports.
