About Our Space
Empowering Lives, Building Community
At Our Space, we are committed to creating a safe and supportive environment where individuals living with mental health and substance use challenges can thrive. Since 1989, we’ve been a beacon of hope in our community, providing recovery-oriented, person-centered programs designed to foster independence, connection, and wellness.
Who We Are:
Our Space is more than just an organization—it’s a community. We believe in the power of shared experiences, where individuals come together to find strength, encouragement, and hope. Guided by our core values of empathy and empowerment, we strive to make recovery accessible to all.​
Our Vision:
A world where everyone has access to the tools and support they need to live a fulfilling and independent life.​​
Why Our Space Is Different
Peer-driven care with clinical integrity, designed around the whole person.
At Our Space, we combine evidence-based practices with lived experience to create care that is compassionate, coordinated, and grounded in trust. Our approach removes barriers, honors individual journeys, and supports sustainable recovery.
Care That Treats the Whole Person
Peer-driven care with clinical integrity
Our services are delivered by trained professionals, many of whom bring real lived experience with mental health and substance use recovery. This blend of clinical expertise and peer understanding fosters trust, engagement, and meaningful connection.
Integrated, co-occurring treatment
Mental health and substance use are treated together, not in silos. Our integrated model reflects best practices for co-occurring care and supports the whole person.
Person-centered recovery planning
Care plans are developed collaboratively and evolve over time, honoring each individual’s goals, strengths, culture, and readiness for change.
Recovery Rooted in Peer Support
Peer-rooted engagement
Our approach is grounded in nationally recognized peer support principles, emphasizing hope, mutuality, dignity, trauma-informed care, and self-direction.
Recovery beyond the clinical setting
Through our Psychosocial Rehabilitation (PSR) drop-in center, we offer peer support services and recovery-oriented programming that promote connection, skill-building, and community belonging. These services are designed to wrap around each individual and support their unique path to recovery.
Access Without Barriers
No wrong door access
We are committed to being a “no wrong door” organization. Anyone who comes to Our Space will be supported, whether through our programs or through warm, coordinated connections to trusted community partners.
Warm handoffs and coordinated care
When additional services are needed, we don’t simply provide referrals. We facilitate warm handoffs that help people stay connected and supported across systems.
Trust, Ethics, and Accountability
Ethical, accountable, and confidential
We uphold clear ethical standards, professional boundaries, and confidentiality—ensuring care that is both relational and responsible.
