OUR MISSION
The Empower Collective was founded by individuals with lived experience navigating mental health challenges and addiction within families, communities, and service systems. This perspective informs a recovery-oriented, peer-led approach that emphasizes dignity, choice, and autonomy.
Our mission grows from a belief that healing and stability are supported through connection, understanding, and access to the right resources at the right time. We recognize that recovery looks different for everyone and that meaningful change often begins with being heard and respected.
Peer Support & Empowerment Programs
PEER SUPPORT (1:1 & GROUPS)
We provide peer-led support in both individual and group settings. Services are delivered by Medi-cal trained Peer Support Specialists who walk alongside participants, offering encouragement, understanding, and practical guidance on their recovery journey.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
We actively engage with the Spring Valley & surrounding East County community through outreach events, partnerships, and resource navigation. Our work builds trust, reduces isolation, and connects people to basic needs, services, and opportunities close to home.
EMPOWERMENT PROJECTS & PERSONAL GROWTH
Participants are invited to take part in empowerment-focused projects that foster confidence, purpose, and self-expression. These opportunities support personal growth, community involvement, and pathways toward meaningful goals.
CONTINUED EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES
We support ongoing learning through workshops, skill-building sessions, and recovery-oriented education. Topics include wellness, self-advocacy, life skills, and navigating systems — all grounded in lived experience.
TRANSFORMING LIVES
THROUGH LIVED EXPERIENCE
The Empower Collective provides peer-led support for individuals navigating addiction and behavioral health challenges. Our services are informed by lived experience and focused on the community we live in and grew up in, ensuring support is relevant, respectful, and locally rooted.
DEDICATED SUPPORT
The Empower Collective delivers peer support services in individual and group formats that promote engagement, self-advocacy, skill development, and community connection.
Services support improved wellness, increased stability, and progress toward participant-identified goals.
COMMUNITY IMPACT
Our work extends beyond individual impact, creating a ripple effect that enriches communities and contributes to a more inclusive and supportive society.
Our work strengthens the neighborhood by increasing connection, reducing isolation, and expanding access to peer-led support. By investing in people with lived experience and focusing our efforts locally, we help build a healthier, more connected community where individuals and families can grow, heal, and thrive.
When people feel supported, communities grow stronger.
EMPOWERING POTENTIAL
Growth looks different for everyone.
We believe every person has strengths, insight, and the ability to grow. Through peer-led support, education, and empowerment-focused opportunities, participants build confidence, develop skills, and move toward goals that reflect their values, interests, and vision for their future.
LASTING CHANGE
Lasting change happens when people feel supported, understood, and empowered. Through consistent peer support and community-based programs, we help individuals build foundations for stability, connection, and growth that extend well beyond our services.
