Who we are
The Maryland Peer Advisory Council, MPAC, is a peer-run advocacy council.
​
The Community Peer Justice Project (CPJP) is an initiative of the Maryland Peer Advisory Council (MPAC) dedicated to strengthening reentry support through lived experience leadership. Our mission is to empower individuals by addressing behavioral health needs, reducing stigma, and connecting people to the essential resources that influence long-term recovery and well-being.
​
Our team comprises trained peer advocates and certified peer recovery specialists, leaders, and community partners who understand the realities of recovery.
We believe in a holistic, person-centered approach that recognizes the connection between the dis-ease of addiction, social determinants of health, care, and recovery. Every individual deserves access to safety, stability, and opportunity—and our peers walk alongside them every step of the way.
We are committed to meeting people where they are, where every person, regardless of their past, has the opportunity to rebuild their life with dignity, purpose, and community.
WE'RE HERE TO SERVE YOU!
