Our Mission

The Peer Company is an inclusive, peer-run nonprofit that supports recovery and wellness through lived experience. We walk alongside people wherever they are in their journey, offering peer delivered services, including education, advocacy, recovery support, outreach, training, technical assistance, re-entry services, and connection to additional services, such as Housing, Detox, and treatment. . Everything we do is grounded in community, empowerment, and self-determined choice.

On September 1, 2025, we became The Peer Company, transitioning from our former name, the Mental Health & Addiction Association of Oregon. We made this change to reduce barriers, make our services and mission easier to understand, and place peers at the center of our identity. Our mission remains the same: we continue to honor self-direction, autonomy, and the voice of lived experience, while carrying forward the strong foundation built as MHAAO.

We are building a new website designed to be clear, accessible, and easy to use as a resource for our community. While that work is underway, you can still visit our existing site at mhaoforegon.org for self-referrals, event information, and access to all of our services. Thank you for walking with us into the future as The Peer Company.
