The Recovery Support Center is a place where community members in recovery can come together in a supportive environment that promotes recovery, wellness, self-care activities, and development of friendships. We are a judgement-free zone.

Respectful
We are dedicated to ensuring that every individual feels seen, heard, and respected. We actively promote an environment where the experiences of our Peers, Members, Member Volunteers, staff, and community partners are valued and where all individuals have the opportunity to contribute, lead, and thrive in their recovery journey.

AIR Outreach Coordinator, Jenn, and Peer Leader, Abner, enjoyed hosting an informative table at the Metrowest Care Connection`s (MWCC) Downtown Framingham Adult Resource Fair on Tuesday, 9/29. We engaged with other local resource brokers informing our community on the center`s mission to help our friends, family members, loved ones and neighbors find wellness and renewed health in recovery through peer support. We were thrilled to have our table placed next to our teammates from the SMOC Day Center on Hollis Street - what a treat! Thank you to everyone who took the time to stop by and learn more about our center and the power of peer recovery. We look forward to being a part of this important community outreach event again next year. And a special shout out to MWCC for including us: we are grateful for your collaborative spirit. Recovery is real!!

At AIR’s Community Meeting on Friday, 9/18, members unanimously voted to appoint long-time peer volunteer member, Abner, to be our new Peer Leader. Abner’s positive presence, daily contribution to the important functions of our peer-driven center, and continued drive to seek growth in his personal development make him the ideal candidate in this highly visible role. Being primarily Spanish speaking makes Abner an exceptional Peer Leader as our center’s community is one of great diversity. We are incredibly fortunate he has accepted this role and chosen our center as his home base. Please stop by, congratulate him, and celebrate recovery! Congratulations, Abner! Your contributions are both recognized and applauded. Tú marcas la diferencia.

🌈💜 What a day at our Anchored in Recovery Community Pride Cookout! 💜🌈
We had an amazing turnout and honestly… the energy, love, and connection in the building was something special. ❤️
Big thank you to EDM Everyday Miracles Peer Recovery Community Center for coming through and celebrating with us. We also want to show love to OUT Framingham and Sarah & Amy from the SAFE Coalition for showing up and being part of the day with our recovery community. It meant a lot to our members.
We had music ringing 🎶, people dancing 💃🕺, face painting 🎨, henna tattoos 🤲, and plenty of great food 🌭🍔. The whole day just felt alive. And the best part? It was all peer-led—from cooking, to setting up, to supporting one another and holding it down for the community. That’s what recovery looks like when community steps in.
Today really showed how close pride and recovery are. Both are about being yourself, finding your people, and knowing you don’t have to do life alone. 🏳️🌈💜
We’re grateful for everyone who came out and helped make today what it was. Days like this remind us why we do what we do—recovery grows through connection, support, and community. 💚
