FAQs

Why Peermaggedon? Why Now?

Because we need it. Because Southern Oregon deserves it. Because it’s time.

More reasons for this innovative gathering:

  • Because mental health and addiction recovery are not limited to one place or one path.

  • Because community-centered peer support is growing - and it needs space to thrive.

  • Because people with lived experience deserve to lead, not just be heard.

  • Because isolation is real - and connection is healing.

  • Because Southern Oregon has something to say.

In short, Peermaggedon is happening because we believe in the power of Southern Oregon’s recovery community. And because we believe it’s time to bring this kind of energy home.

Who Should Attend?

Anyone who identifies as a peer in mental health, addiction recovery, houselessness, or other lived experiences. Peer support specialists, emerging leaders, artists, advocates, community builders, allies. If you’ve ever felt like your lived experience mattered - this is your space.
