PEER RECOVERY CENTER
Who We Are
A Peer Recovery Center
The Gathering Place is one of 11 Peer Recovery Centers in Wisconsin, located in downtown Green Bay, and contracted with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. We serve adults living with mental health conditions who may also experience substance use challenges. Our team is made up of peers with lived experience, which means we truly understand the journey and can walk alongside others in recovery with compassion, understanding, and real-world insight.
The Gathering Place is founded on the concept and core principles of peer support. Our organization is staffed and managed 100% by individuals with lived experience, people who have walked their own paths of recovery and now use that experience to support others with insight, authenticity, and understanding that only peers can provide. Those who have navigated their own recovery journeys are uniquely equipped to support and inspire others. Here, you can follow in the footsteps of those who have faced similar challenges and found hope on the other side. By learning from peers who have overcome similar obstacles, members gain support, encouragement, and the tools to build lives of purpose and meaning. At The Gathering Place, peers empower peers, because no one has to walk the journey alone.
What We Do
Provide Peer Support
We Welcome You
Find Empowerment
We welcome you to participate in The Gathering Place’s recovery-oriented programs and activities. You are invited to request a one-on-one peer support session, attend a support group, learn something new in one of our educational classes, or join a wellness program or one of our many activities. You are also welcome to simply come in, socialize, and just be.
​
At The Gathering Place, we believe in supporting members as they lead self-directed lives. You have the power to choose what works best for you, and we are here to walk alongside you every step of the way. By engaging in our programs and connecting with peers, many members find empowerment. Empowerment is that moment when you can truly say, “I got this.” Peer support at The Gathering Place helps bridge the gap from isolation to belonging, creating a community where every member feels seen, supported, and connected.
