Plugged-In Iowa

Plugged-In Iowa To promote awareness and heighten visibility of peer-based recovery through education, outreach and support.

Plugged-In Iowa’s purpose is threefold: to educate key stakeholders, as well as the public at large, as to the value of peer support; to provide outreach to agencies that are currently utilizing peer support, as well as exploring areas where peer support is currently not employed but has the potential to play a vital role in the recovery process; and to support an individual’s recovery through various peer-based services. Education includes working with the MHDS regions and other stakeholders in identifying what peer support is, why it works and what its value is. This will be accomplished in several ways including, but not limited to, presentations, pluggediniowa.org and social media. Outreach

Outreach includes establishing relationships with agencies that are currently utilizing, or will be utilizing, peer support specialists in better understand the role of peer support, the role of training and supervising the peer support specialist and the successful deployment of peer-based services. Support

Support includes providing an atmosphere in which an individual’s recovery is supported through the use of one-to-one intentional peer support, wellness centers and crisis respite care.

Happy 4th of July everybody!!!

We at Plugged-In Iowa were deeply saddened by the passing of Mechelle Dhondt today. The original mission of Plugged-In Iowa was to educate stakeholders across the state about the importance of peer support. It was Mechelle's idea for us to actually provide peer support in the ECR region and she helped guide us in that direction. If not for her we would not be providing the services that we are today. She was our greatest support and we owe her everything. She saw the importance of peer support and she took a chance that many others would have been afraid to. I cannot express how much she will be missed.

A friendly reminder from Krista, Co-Director:

We're all feeling a little out of sorts lately. But please....don't make any major changes (especially to your hair) during stressful times, unless it's a positive one! 😁

What do you think...should I make this permanent? Have you ever done something to your hair that wasn't a great idea? Have a goofy picture of yourself? Please share with us! 👇

As always, if you're struggling, reach out! We're here for you!
