Peer Support Networks (PSN)

Our organization provides a comfortable and safe space for adults to socialize and support one another, while emphasizing mental health. PSN is a “drop-in center” model that promotes recovery and growth to help individuals meet life’s challenges and set goals for the future. There are scheduled group activities and sessions which allow individuals from the community who are interested in interacting with, other community members, staff, volunteers, peer support specialists, and university interns.

You do not have to be a Hiawatha Valley Mental Health Center (HVMHC) client to stop by the Peer Support Network (PSN). PSN is for all adults 18+.
