See Me, Hear Me Advocacy Group

Ever since River Edge popped up on our radar, we have been awe-struck by a variety of innovative programs. Among our favorite is their See Me, Hear Me Advocacy Group, dedicated to encouraging all individuals to “find their voice.”

As a platform for self-advocacy, the peer-led group ensures that every voice finds a way to be both heard and respected. Participants are encouraged to speak up for their rights, engage in community activities, and develop leadership skills. This initiative is a beautiful testament to River Edge’s commitment to inclusion and empowerment, demonstrating their dedication to supporting all individuals in living fulfilling, independent lives.

Special Project: The Tiny Cottages of Macon

The Tiny Cottages of Macon is another astounding project from River Edge aimed at providing housing solutions for individuals in recovery. These tiny homes offer a safe and supportive environment, addressing housing insecurity as a crucial aspect of mental health and recovery. This program highlights River Edge’s commitment to holistic and sustainable support for their clients.

River Edge recently hosted an Open House Ceremony and Tour for the Tiny Cottages of Macon, celebrating the launch of this impactful initiative. The event was a testament to the organization’s dedication to community integration and support, showcasing the positive impact these tiny homes will have on individuals’ recovery journeys.
