Welcome to RippleCT.org
The official home of Recovery Innovations for Pursuing Peer Leadership and Empowerment, Inc. (RIPPLE).
At RIPPLE, we believe that people with lived experience are essential to building a more effective, compassionate, and responsive mental health and addiction services system in Connecticut. For decades, individuals in recovery have led meaningful change, using their voices, insights, and lived experience to improve the systems meant to support them.

RIPPLE exists to strengthen and expand that impact by helping future advocates, working with legislators, and seeking partnerships with other organizations all over the state. We know that through collaboration, shared experience, and open dialogue, we aim to contribute thoughtful ideas, elevate peer perspectives, and help shape a system that truly meets people where they are.
Our work is guided by two core goals. First, we seek to bring service recipients and providers together in ways that center lived experience, strengthen communication, and foster genuine partnership. Second, we are dedicated to developing and promoting consumer-crafted education, resources, and information that reflect the evolving realities of mental health and addiction recovery.
RIPPLE is built on the belief that recovery is not only possible, it is powerful when peers are empowered to lead. We invite you to explore our work, connect with our community, and join us in advancing a more inclusive and effective recovery system for all.
