Young Adults Ages 16-26

The PLACE for Empowerment is a space for young adults ages 16-26 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.

Our vision is that all young people will have what they need to overcome their perceived limitations and live fulfilling lives.

We offer services and supports that focus on overall well-being, including developing a community of peers and engaging in a variety of individual and group supports.
