The Western Mass Recovery Learning Community (RLC) creates conditions that support recovery at both the individual and community level through trauma-sensitive peer supports and the development of a regional network.   We believe that human relationships are at the center of what heal people who have experienced extreme emotional states, trauma, mental health diagnoses and a variety of other challenges in life.  Our lived experience and ‘humanness’ is what unites us.  Our stories, collective wisdom and strength are what guide us and our community to wellness.   

The Western Mass Recovery Learning Community (RLC) is PEOPLE (not places) and is wherever YOU and others from the community are.  Together, we offer a variety of events, workshops and trainings as well as four resource centers in Springfield, Greenfield, Holyoke and Pittsfield.  Above all else, we offer each other opportunities to find support, connection and valued roles as a part of a growing community.
