We believe people with lived experience hold the key to improving the effectiveness of the mental health and addiction treatment in Connecticut. For years our peers in recovery have used their voices, insights, and leadership to implement positive change in our states mental health and addiction services system. RIPPLE will work along side of these other individuals and organizations. We will add our voices, ideas, and experience to the ongoing conversation on how to improve services and accessibility to everyone in the recovery community.

RIPPLE has two primary goals: first, to bring service recipients and providers together in a way that centers focus on the voices of our peers in recovery, improves communication, and fosters a true spirit of partnership; second, to provide and promote consumer-crafted education, resources and information in the ever-changing landscape of the Mental Health and Addiction Services System.
