This recovery center is a supportive place where people can be among others in recovery and receive referrals to drug and alcohol treatment programs. Staff also make referrals for medical/mental health treatment, housing and employment assistance, and other services to help create a better life in recovery. Dee's place, located in the rear of 1212 n. Wolfe st. , is open 24 hours, 7 days a week. Dee's place is also a key partner of the larger baltimore city program - threshold to recovery.
healthy minds at work: youth who are enrolled in our yo! Center's workforce development program can receive comprehensive mental health services in a non-traditional setting. Trained peer leaders help combat stigma, promote mental health awareness, and help bring a new level of attention to the importance of good mental health. Youth members also receive a mental health screening and support/care from on-site mental health clinicians. Our goal is to help youth succeed in meeting their education and career goals by addressing any mental health barriers that may get in the way. This project is funded by a grant from the robert wood johnson foundation that is matched by six baltimore-based foundations.
