VOCAL CO-OP

Consumer Owned & Operated Programs

Welcome to the VOCAL CO-OP. We are a collective of peer-run, grassroots mental health programs in Virginia. All our programs are designed, led, and governed by people who have been diagnosed with mental illness.

There are over 20 peer-run mental heath programs in Virginia -- Drop In Centers, Employment Centers, Training Programs, Warm Lines, Advocacy Projects, Recovery Groups, and more.

As people who have personally experienced mental illness, we work to create programs that respect the inherent worth and dignity of all people, regardless of their current or past mental state, diagnosis, or use of medications.

To learn more about peer-run programs, we invite you to visit our Directory of Peer-run Programs in Virginia. To find out about upcoming events, scholarships, updates and opportunities, we welcome you to visit our VOCAL CO-OP Newsletter.
