We at HopeWorx are excited to share our growth and development with you as we launch our newly redesigned website and make plans for our 30th Anniversary Celebration.
We’ve come a long way since 1994, when HopeWorx began with one full time person and a handful of part-time people known then as the Consumer Satisfaction Team of Montgomery County. People with lived experience would create and implement satisfaction surveys with people using mental health services. They met people where they were – peer to peer – making connections, gaining trust and compiling firsthand information about services.
As the years grew, so did the organization, steadily building additional peer programs to support Montgomery County individuals.
Now 30 years later, the HopeWorx organization houses six teams, who impact over 2000 people in the county each year.
The teams conduct satisfaction surveys for families, youth, and adults. They provide one on one peer and self-advocacy support to individuals, as well as families whose children are navigating the child serving systems. They provide emergency resources including food, clothing and laundry, and have built a local community with opportunities for learning new skills, meeting new friends, and starting new career paths.
Throughout the years, HopeWorx has remained committed to crafting an intentional space where peer values and peer support are the essential fiber of our community. We walk alongside others, sharing our own stories of hope, to help everyone we serve feel safe, seen, and heard.
We invite you to take a look at some of the program highlights by browsing through our new website. We invite you to join us for our 30th Celebration on June 24, 2024 as we celebrate our community and honor those individuals and organizations who made HopeWorx the welcoming and supportive place it is today.
And by the way, we are still growing. We anticipate the opening of the very first peer run respite in Southeastern Pennsylvania to happen in 2024. Stay tuned!
