MHAAO is committed to promoting self-directed recovery and wellness for all individuals. We honor lived experiences. We support people wherever they are on their journey, free from judgment, or agenda.

We support these aims through education, advocacy, recovery peer services, training, technical assistance, community collaboration, and through developing the peer workforce and leadership.

MHAAO is an inclusive peer-run organization dedicated to self-direction honoring the voice of lived experience.

Through M110 funding, MHAAO will be able to expand peer services, recovery mentors, and get a mobile harm reduction van staffed with peers.

MHAAO is also collaborating with Bridges to Change to develop and offer a screening tool in the tri-county area.

Additionally, MHAAO worked on the launch of a new app called Chess Health that allows folx to access broad community support 24/7; as well as working on the Recoveryverse, a virtual-reality recovery space.
