Pathfinders
Free peer support in Pikesville
Pathfinders Recovery Community Center is a peer-staffed center for those affected by mental health, substance use and co-occurring challenges. The Center is led by peers who have traveled the same paths as its members and can offer support in a recovery-oriented atmosphere. Peers help and support each other by sharing their knowledge and experience. The Center is a place where people can access information and resources, participate in support groups, enjoy planned activities, socialize and meet new friends.
It is an excellent way to reduce isolation and find new support. There is no fee for membership at the Center. At Pathfinders Recovery Community Center, anyone seeking recovery from mental health, substance use and co-occurring challenges is welcome.
Drop in, have dinner, stay as long as you like.
Individual peer support is available Tuesdays and Fridays 2-7 pm during center hours and throughout the week by contacting Bryan Johnson, Program Coordinator at 410-653-6190 or by calling/texting the warm line at 410-935-6721.
