Location Hubs
Explore Our Global Network of IPS Hubs
In a number of states in the US and several countries, IPS Hubs operate as key extensions of our mission, formed through strategic partnerships with IPS Central. These hubs range from state organizations to smaller NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) or trusts, instrumental in adapting and implementing Intentional Peer Support practices to meet local needs.
By partnering with IPS Central, these organizations help to expand the reach and enhance the effectiveness of our initiatives. This ensures that the principles of Intentional Peer Support are integrated and sustained within diverse communities globally.
