THE STRONGHOLD: A CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE PEER SUPPORT PROGRAM

Historical Content: 

Led by volunteer advocates and grassroot efforts, The Stronghold: A Culturally Responsive Peer Support Program has been in development since 2019.  The Stronghold members are enrolled and/or descendants of a federally recognized tribe.  Each of our members are trained Peer Wellness Specialists.  We offer culturally relevant and responsive peer support services for individuals residing within Klamath County.  The Stronghold is a 501©3 non-profit organization, which began providing services in July 2020.  The Stronghold is a peer-run organization, meaning that the majority of the Board of Directors and leadership positions be composed of individuals who self-identify as an individual living a life of mental health, an addiction in recovery or both.
