The Gathering Place, located at 1001 Cherry Street in Green Bay, Wisconsin, is a peer recovery center dedicated to supporting adults living with mental health conditions and substance use challenges. As one of 11 peer recovery centers in Wisconsin, the organization is contracted with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services and is fully staffed by Certified Peer Specialists and Recovery Coaches who have personal, lived experience in recovery. This unique approach allows The Gathering Place to provide an environment of understanding, empowerment, and encouragement for individuals on their journey to wellness.
Through its programs, The Gathering Place offers individual and group peer support, structured recovery coaching, and evidence-based peer-led groups designed to help participants build confidence, resilience, and hope. Services include support groups, wellness and mindfulness activities, and educational classes, all focused on providing practical skills and a safe community space. By emphasizing peer support as an evidence-based practice, The Gathering Place helps reduce reliance on crisis services, hospital readmissions, and repeated incarcerations, while empowering members to live meaningful lives.
Cannot say enough good things about Foundations. As a newly licensed foster parent, they go above and beyond to make sure that everyone involved feels supported. They are all so passionate about what they do, and it shows in their work! I could go on and on but I am so grateful we were introduced to Foundations and are so excited to be a part of this amazing organization!
A very valuable resource of services and information delivered in a professional and non-judgmental approach. In addition to regular community health care and mental health and wellness services, Vivent offers HIV testing and HIV support groups, needle exhange, Narcan education and dispensing, a food pantry and so much more, all delivered with care and experience. We need more locations in every city. Their value cannot be quantified.
I checked myself in to detox from alcohol. The woman that admitted me was very professional and kind. I did have to wait a while because she was already in the process of admitting someone else. I didn't mind and I didn't have to wait very long.
Absolutely amazing! For the first time I have a provider that actually cares and takes me seriously. I see two providers through Nystrom and both are great. I highly recommend this place up and down. I see one provider virtually which I wasn’t sure about at first but, it really works out great. It’s just like in person just over your mobile or computer device. Again, if you’re thinking of looking into this practice, don’t give it a second thought and contact them today!
