ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The Sunrise Wellness Center is a peer-run program promoting recovery for individuals with mental health diagnoses. Sunrise encourages a self-directed approach to mental health services, and promotes mental, physical, and spiritual wellness. The Center acts as a gateway for people with mental health challenges to find hope and support in recovery. It’s a place where a person can begin or continue his/her journey of self-exploration and recovery with peer support. The Center promotes natural linkages that encourage true social inclusion in mainstream life that will nurture and feed the individual's passion in life. The Center functions as a hub offering a great variety of social inclusion opportunities based on personal interests. At the core of the wellness center is the goal of self-driven recovery and self-care.

“I’m convinced that the greatest potential for actualizing the vision of recovery lies within each individual, not in the system” – Larry Fricks, Peer Services VP
