NCDHHS, Promise Resource Network to Celebrate Ribbon-Cutting at Raleigh Recovery Café

Credentialed media are invited to join NCDHHS leadership for a ribbon-cutting at the Promise Resource Network's Raleigh Recovery Café on Tuesday, Feb. 24, at 11 a.m. Kelly Crosbie, Director of the NCDHHS Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Substance Use Disorders, will speak at the event.

Recovery Cafés are a national model for healing communities committed to serving people who have experienced trauma and the results of trauma like houselessness, substance use and mental health challenges, incarceration, and loneliness. Recovery Cafés provide a structure for members to gain and maintain recovery, reduce the recurrence of use, and fulfill their growth potential.

NCDHHS provided $688,196 to Promise Resource Network (PRN) for the project. PRN, a peer-run organization in Mecklenburg County, operates a café in Charlotte and respite centers in Charlotte and the Triangle. PRN also operates the Statewide Peer Warmline, a phone line staffed by Peer Support Specialists who offer non-clinical support and resources to those in crisis. The Peer Warmline works in tandem with the North Carolina 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
