Overview
Hosted by The Peer Company (formerly the Mental Health & Addiction Association of Oregon), the national conference focuses on fostering collaboration that advances the peer recovery movement.
In 2026, the event took place in Seaside, Oregon from May 4-7 with the theme “Rooted & Rising.” From their main page:
“This theme honors where we’ve come from, our grassroots beginnings and the deep roots that ground the peer movement. Our history is one of resilience, truth, and connection. As we continue to grow, we carry those roots with us, and use them to shape the future of peer support with the wisdom of lived experience. Rooted & Rising invites us to celebrate how far we’ve come and to reach higher together, guided by the values that make our community strong.”
