Why IPS?

Peers come together around shared experiences, often driven by a desire to change lives. But without a new framework to build upon, people frequently re-enact “help” based on what was done to them. 

IPS offers a foundation for doing something different. We come from a history of grassroots alternatives that focus on building relationships that are mutual, explorative and conscious of power.
