Cascade Peer & Self-Help Center

Cascade Peer and Self-Help Center is a drop-in center for people experiencing on going mental health and/or addiction issues who are engaged in mental health or addiction treatment or referred to CPASHC as part of their aftercare program.  Intentional Peer Support is the cornerstone of the program where clients can utilize new skills learned in treatment and receive emotional support when struggling with life issues.  All staff are trained in Intentional Peer Support.  In addition to Peer Support, the center offers planned activities, a light breakfast, a nutritional lunch, laundry facilities, shower, and free used clothing.  This COHC funding has made it possible for the center to be open five days per week instead of the previous three days.  This expansion has been important for being able to provide consistent support to this vulnerable population.  In addition, this funding has made it possible to provide more outreach services that help clients get to the center, to be more consistent in attending their treatment appointments and help eligible clients be more aware of our services.
