Right now in our community, some of our neighbors are going without food.

At Strength In Peers, we’re working to change that—with your help.

We’re urgently in need of:
Canned soups & stews, canned fruits & vegetables, cups of noodles, peanut butter & jelly, granola bars, cereal, and shelf-stable milk.

Your donation helps a neighbor get through the day and stay connected to support.

Mom 2 Mom: Finding Recovery & Wellness Together 🌸

Mom 2 Mom is a program at Strength In Peers that supports women who are pregnant, nursing, or of childbearing age and facing substance use challenges.

We use a harm-reduction approach and offer free, one-on-one support from peers who understand recovery. Our team helps with connection to health care, testing, treatment connections, childcare, transportation, and next steps toward school or work.

Our goal is to help moms:
💗 Stay healthy
👶 Strengthen bonds with their babies
🌱 Build confidence, stability, and hope

You don’t have to do this alone—we’re here to walk alongside you.

These groups provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to connect with others who may be navigating similar challenges. All groups are led by peers in recovery who bring lived experience, understanding, and hope.

Whether you’re looking for connection, encouragement, coping tools, or opportunities to support your overall health and wellness, there is a group for you. Our weekly offerings include a variety of groups that support emotional well-being, recovery, and physical and mental health — including movement-based and mindfulness groups.

Talking about mental health matters.

Mental Health Awareness Month creates space for open conversations and helps break down stigma. When we speak up, we help others feel safer asking for help.

Start small:
✔ Check in on a friend
✔ Share your story
✔ Listen without judgment

Need support? You’re not alone.

In Virginia, you can reach out to:
Strength In Peers | VOCAL Virginia | NAMI | Mental Health Virginia

Someone you love may be facing both a mental health condition and a substance use challenge. They deserve steady support, compassion, and connection. When additional help is needed, support is available 24/7.
