About Us

My Second Chance Inc. is a grassroots organization, led by and for those in recovery from substance use and mental health challenges, trauma, grief or other obstacles to wellness. We use, and help others use, the power of lived experience to support, educate, and guide one another while providing additional, free options for mental wellness. We are changing the culture of substance use and mental wellness.

A Peer Recovery Support Specialists (PRSS) utilize their unique lived experience to ensure peer directed care by assisting individuals to build the specific skills and relationships needed to achieve and maintain recovery from substance use and/or mental health conditions. All of our staff and facilitators are Peer Recovery Support Specialists or are working towards becoming certified.

Peer support workers are people who have been successful in the recovery process who help others experiencing similar situations. Through shared understanding, respect, and mutual empowerment, peer support workers help people become and stay engaged in the recovery process and reduce the likelihood of relapse.
