There is a mental health consumer run support group in Junction City called Recovery Harbor. Spokesman R.A. McMillin-Beckman said they're growing in Junction City to help consumers support each other. "It's the Kansas Mental Health Peer Support network."
McMillin-Beckman said they're reaching out to mental health consumers primarily through Pawnee Mental Health Services. "But also just within the community and word of mouth."
McMillin Beckman said people with mental health illnesses are invited to join weekly support groups that they would like to start on Wednesday evenings. There will be work with the First Presbyterian and First United Methodist Churches on this effort.
Mental health support groups help those with shared experiences support one another. "Recovery Harbor is a membership of people experiencing mental illness. You don't have to be diagnosed, you can be just the undiagnosed stressed out but also includes providers of community services as well as mental health services."
To reach McMillin-Beckman you can call 785-717-9630. He noted that Recovery Harbor is partnering with other groups and organizations in the community.
