We often partner with the Town of Amherst and local organizations to serve our community. Our current onsite partner activities include:

CRESS Office at the Jones Library

Community Responders for Equity, Safety & Service (CRESS) is a public safety department in the Town of Amherst. CRESS team members will sometimes work out of an office at the Jones Library.

Wildflower Alliance Peer Support Groups

Alternatives to Suicide Peer Support Group

The Alternatives to Suicide approach is about openly exploring the meaning behind thoughts and feelings of suicide, as well as what might be worth living for. In the "Alt2Su" group, we find strength in coming together to support one another in our times of greatest distress. Our collective wisdom and individual stories have taught us that making space for this topic can be powerful and healing. NOTE: Masks are required during this group.

All Recovery Support Group

All Recovery Groups are open to anyone who has challenges with substance use and/or addition, or who supports the recovery lifestyle. While anonymous fellowships like Alcohol and Narcotics Anonymous focus on navigating the 12 steps, All Recovery holds that there are many pathways to recovery, all of which are valid. We encourage each person to share and talk about their experiences, what has worked for them, and what has not worked, so that each person can explore and discover their own unique pathway to Recovery.
