Four Decades of Caring

Together Place opened in 1981. As of 2020, MMHC has undergone its largest transformation. With a focus on providing peer support for individuals in substance use and mental health recovery and the completion of significant upgrades to the facility, the organization adopted a new name that perfectly aligns with its mission and programming: Together Place Peer Run Recovery Center.

Together Place has a bold vision for the future.

Recognizing the vast potential to foster stronger long-term recovery, Together Place developed the Creative Recovery Initiative comprised of two parts: Creative & Vocational Recovery Groups and Creative Community Events hosted by those in Recovery.

A Community without Stigma Stigma is one of the largest challenges facing people in recovery. Meaningful face-to-face interaction — between those in recovery and the broader community — reduces harmful stigma. At Together Place, community exists inside our walls — peers in recovery groups, friends at the diner, one-on-one sessions with a CIPSS — and through community collaboration as a cornerstone of our Creative Recovery Initiative.

Programs and Activities

Peer-Run Recovery Groups

Focused on mental health recovery, substance use recovery, vocational skills, and creative recovery, all groups are led by Certified Intentional Peer Support Specialists (CIPSS). They offer first-hand experience and encouragement that long-term recovery is possible.

Employment Connections

Employment Connections (EC) offers Bangor mental health consumers supported paid employment opportunities. MMHC contracts with businesses to provide custodial services. We also offer referrals to Vocational Rehabilitation and other supports.

Volunteering

Together Place Community Garden, Support Group Leadership, and the Together Place Member Board are some of the many opportunities offered to empower member leadership, skill building, and get connected with others in the community.
