PeerLINKS Imperial Valley is a free, confidential program designed for individuals who are clients of the San Diego Regional Center in Imperial County and need help connecting to behavioral health treatment (mental health and/or substance use), resources, or rebuilding their support network.
Our goal is to work in partnership with you to link you with behavioral health services and community resources, while increasing your knowledge and providing support. We share messages of hope as we model recovery. We also coordinate care and offer help with obtaining benefits.
