Mission: Create an environment where people are challenged and supported to find their power, as only Prosumers can!

Vision: A world where people courageously grow and realize their dreams.

A Prosumer is a person who is proactive in their recovery and gives back to the community. We meet together to figure out how to live life in spite of any challenges we may face. We hold monthly empowerment meetings to gain skills to live a full life. People can find recovery on accident. We believe people need to find recovery on purpose.

The first area is realizing that you have control over your life, which you get by realizing you have choices in all things. Having choices takes us from a victim of life or illness to a survivor of life or illness. To have choices means we recognize when we blame or get angry, we are giving the person or situation the power over us. Since "they made us... "or " it is their fault that..." leaves us at their mercy because we are relying on "it" or "them" to change so we can feel better. Once we take back our power and realize we are in control, it is only then that we can choose that which empowers us to have a full and happy life.

The second area is realizing that you have resources, knowing who to contact or where to go for information for things that you need. At a Prosumer meeting, you make a family. You can find out anything from what dentist uses a sliding scale fee to where to buy used clothing in large sizes. If you are going into the doctor or hospital, we can tell you everything that is going to happen.

The third area is doing something meaningful in life. Doing something that makes a difference in someone else's life, gives you a sense of well-being. We encourage this in the Prosumer Program. By volunteering, you will find recovery for what ails you. If you are continually focusing inward, your pain will feel worse, maybe even magnified. It is through focusing outwards, that life becomes exciting, happy and rewarding, no matter what pain you have.
