Peer recovery support is practical support from someone with lived experience—focused on helping people move toward stability through goal-setting, system navigation, and barrier removal.

It’s not therapy. It’s not a replacement for care.
It’s the real-life support that helps people follow through.

Save this and share it with someone who might need support.

Our Leadership Team jumped on the caricature trend. Not just for fun, but to show the real people behind the titles.

Each one reflects more than a role. It captures the hobbies, passions, lived experiences, and heart that shape how we lead, from community conversations to coffee-fueled strategy sessions and everything in between!

Because at MnPRA, this mission isn’t powered by positions. It’s powered by people.
