Supporting Individuals
through the recovery process
Restored Connections Peer Center (RCPC) is a peer run organization serving the Lane County area in an evidence-based approach to individuals seeking a recovered lifestyle. Through a strength base and peer lead process, peer mentors pair up with individuals who need guidance and support regarding their substance use, houselessness and a variety of other high-risk situations they may be experiencing.
OUR VISION
The process of recovery has many different steps, and many times individuals have a tough time engaging or knowing where to start. In addition, the recovery process does not end at the completion of treatment. There are many areas of an individual’s life that need to be addressed long after they have graduated from standard substance use services. Trained and credentialed peer mentors help to meet these gaps before, during and after the treatment process has been completed. Supporting an individual through the process has proven to be vital to their long-term success and in their goals to long term recovery.
Through a strength base and peer lead process, peer mentors pair up with individuals who need guidance and support regarding their substance use, houselessness and a variety of other high-risk situations they may be experiencing. Our mission is to aid those who seek help, grow and thrive in their lives. We want you to succeed and give you all the tools you need to do so.
STEPHANIE CAMERON CRM II, CADC II
With over a decade as a professional in peer delivered services, Stephanie Cameron saw a need for Lane County to have their own peer center. A place where individuals at all levels of recovery can access services, come be together, join in service work and give back to their community. As a former consumer of peer services herself, Stephanie has immense gratitude for the work of peer mentors. The therapeutic value of somebody’s lived experience provides a hope unique to any other service in the recovery journey.
HUNTER NELMS CRM II, CADC II
Hunter Nelms began his work in the field as a peer mentor. After becoming a drug and alcohol counselor, he decided to go back to the peer mentoring profession because he both wanted to help individuals in all areas of their recovery journey, and also because he recognizes the positive impact that individuals with lived experience can have on persons who reach out for help.
