The mission of S.T.A.R. - Stand Together and Recover Centers is to provide for the basic needs of adults diagnosed with a mental illness in Maricopa County while improving their quality of life through non-clinical peer-run services.

"Empowering Adults Living with a Mental Illness."
| More about our history

On November 13, 2009 something extraordinary happened. On that day, barriers came down and the spirit of recovery flourished as Clinicians, C.E.O.s, and Service Recipients joined together for a day of fun, food and friendship.

Thank you for visiting S.T.A.R. – Stand Together and Recover Centers. Our Recovery Centers and additional programs help many of the forgotten class of adults living with a mental illness. Most of our member clients are low income individuals living on assistance and some are homeless individuals. Our organization is peer-run, meaning the employees of S.T.A.R. are now, or have been in the past, service recipients of mental health services or family members of service recipients. This gives our organization a unique perspective on the people we are here to serve.

S.T.A.R. needs your help! Our member's needs include the basics such as food (canned or packaged), clothing, hygiene products and small household items.
