This February, Pier 360’s activities and outings are rooted in Courage, connection, and community — offering creative spaces, outdoor experiences, and opportunities to be seen and supported together.

In this month’s message, Executive Director Brad Berry reflects on courage as a matter of the heart — the quiet determination it takes to face daily challenges. He invites our community to see and honor the courage in one another, reminding us that connection makes resilience stronger.

Dr. King's dream gestures toward bridges—across race, across belief, across circumstance. Toward a world where peace, harmony, and love are not abstract ideals, but practices we return to, again and again, even when it’s difficult.

January at Pier 360 centers on resilience and winter wellness, with community activities, creative connection, and support groups. Read more about this month’s offerings.

Thirty years ago, Consumer Voices Are Born began as a peer-run organization committed to advocacy and support.  It was a courageous act by the founding group of peers because the odds were against them, they had few national and no regional peer-run agencies to learn from in 1995, and stigma against people living with mental health challenges was in high gear.  They, however, persevered eventually gaining nonprofit corporation status with the federal government in 1997 and se

Images of community, dignity, and support.

Pier 360 is a peer-run organization led by people with lived experience in mental health and substance

Images of reflection and stillness this Winter. Scenes outside with snow and ice reflected in a still lake, a stone that says Reflect on it, a person making a heart with their hands over the sunlight, a pier reflected upside down in a glass sphere, and a Winter scene reflected in a side-view car mirror. Winter invites us into a season of contrast—light and shadow, celebration and remembrance, gathering and solitude. As the holidays arrive, many people feel joy. Others feel g

As the days grow shorter and the air grows crisp, winter invites us to slow down, reconnect with ourselves, and seek out small moments of joy. At Pier 360, Winter Wellness is about supporting one another through the darker season—through movement, creativity, laughter, shared stories, and adventures that spark a sense of possibility. This December, we’re offering activities that bring warmth to the cold months, community to the quiet days, and gentle encouragement for anyone

The Practice of Gratitude This season invites us to slow down and reflect on what gratitude truly means. While Thanksgiving carries complex histories for Indigenous peoples — stories of both generosity and loss — it also invites us to approach the day with respect, compassion, and a renewed awareness of how we live in relationship with one another. At Pier 360, gratitude is more than a feeling. It’s a practice — one that deepens connection, honors those who came before us, an
