Minnesota’s First Recovery Community Organization

Minnesota Recovery Connection (MRC) is proud to be the state’s first Recovery Community Organization, founded by people in recovery, their families, and allies. Built on the belief that recovery is possible for everyone, MRC leads with lived experience to create a community grounded in hope, connection, and empowerment.

Through peer recovery coaching, education, advocacy, and community engagement, MRC challenges stigma and expands access to recovery support. What began as a grassroots effort has grown into a statewide leader, inspiring other organizations and strengthening Minnesota’s recovery movement.

Recovery Support + Peer Services Feature Block

Short explanation of peer services

Peer Recovery Services connect individuals with trained Peer Recovery Specialists who use their own lived experience to offer hope, guidance, and support in recovery. These services empower people to set goals, access resources, and build meaningful connections that sustain long-term recovery.

Working hard for the recovery community, offering training, advocacy work, volunteering, and telephone recovery support. Love the mission.”
