Peer 360 Recovery Alliance exists to serve the diverse recovery communities, their family, friends and allies offering a unified voice and a shared recovery vision. We are building bridges across the gaps between professional treatment services and successful lives in long-term recovery so that no more are lost to addiction.
What is peer support? Peer support is an informal gathering of others in recovery; it is a chance to share your experience and strength in recovery with others. It is also a chance to talk about your struggles and get support.
Peer 360 Recovery Alliance Awarded Grant from Midland Area Community Foundation Community Investment Fund Midland, MI – Peer 360 Recovery Alliance, a grassroots organization dedicated to supporting individuals and families impacted by substance use, has been awarded a grant from the Midland Area Community Foundation Community Investment Fund. “We are incredibly honored to be chosen as a recipient of this grant,” said Ricardo Bowden, Executive Director of Peer 360 Recovery Alliance. “This support helps us continue walking alongside individuals on their journey to recovery, offering personalized resources and a strong, inclusive community.” Peer 360 is a grassroots recovery support team helping people overcome substance use disorders/ addiction across eight counties, including Midland. Their approach— “All Recovery, All Pathways, All Together,” welcomes everyone, regardless of how they choose to recover. Peer 360 follows trusted recovery principles and best practices to provide effective, personalized support. Recovery coaches offer peer guidance and connect individuals to a variety of resources, including in-patient and outpatient care, parenting classes, anger management, job skills training, budgeting workshops, and self-care. “Our meetings and events are designed to meet people where they are—whether that’s in person, on Zoom, through mutual aid support groups, family events, field trips, or recreational activities,” added Chancy Eastman, Midland County Coordinator. “We believe recovery is a community journey.” Since its formal inception in 2016, Peer 360 has trained over 500 recovery coaches, helping individuals re-enter their communities with tools for parenting, employment, and sustained recovery—contributing to healthier families and neighborhoods. Peer 360’s efforts to help individuals and families become stable and build brighter futures closely align with the mission of the Midland Area Community Foundation, which exists to cultivate the power of giving within our community, support long-term transformation, and help ensure all residents thrive. This grant was made possible through the Foundation’s focus area of Community Investment, which seeks to foster inclusive, thriving, and resilient communities. “We are an important part of the Midland community, uniquely helping to reduce death and suffering due to substance use,” said Dolores Porte, Peer 360 Board Member and Co-chair. “We deeply appreciate this generous support from the Midland Area Community Foundation Community Investment Fund.”
