RReellaaxx!! The hotel and surrounding area is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy California with friends—old and new. The hotel offers a fitness room, pool, and other amenities. The hotel grounds are neatly kept and flowers blossom year-round. Indeed, it is a great place to mingle, network, meet new people and just kick back and relax!

“Peer support is a rapidly changing profession. While it is exciting to see many of these changes as they bring those we support to recovery, it is challenging to keep abreast of what is happening.

Each year, our conference helps peer supporters from across the country learn through sharing. Indeed, the friendships created at our conference often endure for years. Join us for a fun and learning event!”
