Praise for Peer Place
Here is what Peer Place participants say about Peer Place: “Peer Place saved my life!” “For me [Peer Place] is a safe haven... If peer place were not open today I would be in my apartment isolating. Peer Place also helps because if I am having a problem, it is a place where I can talk to someone and get a different view on the problem and options on how to deal with the problem. Without Peer Place, I would not be doing anything except isolation and slowly deteriorating mentally. So this place helps.” "Peer Place gave me a better will to live."
