About the Drop-In Center
The Peer Empowerment Network (PEN) Drop-In Center is a safe, supportive, and welcoming space for individuals 18 and older who are living with or recovering from a mental health condition. Our goal is to foster an atmosphere of acceptance where individuals feel valued, empowered, and supported in their journey toward self-worth, dignity, and self-respect.
The Drop-In Center is a place where you can come as you are. There is no judgment here — only understanding, encouragement, and community. Whether you are looking for a friendly face, a listening ear, or access to helpful resources, you will find it at PEN.
