Welcome to All IN Family Peer Support
We walk alongside families who are supporting a loved one through mental health, substance use, or life‑disrupting challenges. We’re not clinicians — we’re peers with lived experience who understand what it feels like to navigate systems, advocate for someone you love, and try to stay grounded through it all.
Why We Exist
Families deserve support too. When someone you care about is struggling, you carry the weight — emotionally, practically, and often silently. Our role is to help you feel less alone, more confident, and more connected to your own strengths.
Our Vision
Every family in our community is living a life where they are thriving, feel supported and never feel alone.
Our Mission:
Through the lens of lived experience of family members in relation to mental health and/or addictions, provide value-based peer support, workshops and education that build a community of understanding, acceptance and hope for family members while supporting their own wellbeing.
Family to us, is whatever family is to you.

Incredibly Supportive
“I am not alone. We are all on a spectrum of recovery, whether you are at the beginning of your journey or in a holding pattern...we are all there to contribute to each other's success. The group environment is comforting and wise.

Learning I can reach out and get help when I need it. No referrals, no waiting period, no cost
-
Hearing the stories of others enabled me to reflect on mine, esp. to separate my child's story from my own
We are not alone thru this difficult and painful journey. We are learning new things every session, in how to manage ourselves and our loved one with mental illness.
Connectedness with others with lived experiences recognition that family is not always blood but can be the family we choose!
You are not alone, and your own self care is very important as you support your family member or person who is dealing with mental health struggles.
connection and knowing that I am doing the best I can
Even if you show up to listen...I feel you will not be disappointed. No judgement, safe environment and supportive. Just the right combination of qualities during these crazy times!!”
