Who we are

A Place Where You’re Truly Understood

TOGETHER WE CAN INC. is a peer-led nonprofit community where you don’t have to face challenges alone. Our team comprises individuals who understand the struggles and the journey to moving forward. Together, we can help each other grow and overcome.

Our team is made up of individuals who have faced mental health challenges and come through the other side with strength and purpose. We now use that experience to support others on their healing journeys.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, unsure, or need to talk to someone who truly gets it, we’re here, not as professionals behind a desk, but as peers who care deeply and want to walk alongside you.

Our Mission

To support, educate, and provide hope to individuals seeking mental health recovery and to help them build resilience so that they can thrive in their lives and communities.

Our Vision

We envision a community where people feel safe to speak openly about their mental health, where trust and mutual respect shape every connection, and where no one feels alone in their struggle.

What We Believe

At TOGETHER WE CAN INC., our work is rooted in lived experience, genuine connection, and the belief that every individual deserves support, dignity, and hope.

We understand that emotional struggles come in many forms, and there is no single path to feeling better. That’s why we walk alongside each person, listening, guiding, and encouraging them as they find their way.

Our work is based on trust. Absolute trust that grows from shared experiences, mutual respect, and the understanding that people don’t need to be “fixed”, they need to be heard.

We believe that healing happens in connection. When one person opens up, it permits others to do the same. In that space, healing begins, and that’s where we come in.

Our Peer Support Team

Our support specialists are certified, trained, and most importantly, compassionate. Becky Brown and Deb Williams are both State of Iowa Certified Peer Recovery Specialists. They’ve gone through professional training, but their real strength comes from their own lived experiences. They know what it’s like to struggle. They also know what it takes to grow stronger.

What Makes Us Different

We don’t follow a script. We don’t require a diagnosis. And we don’t expect you to have it all figured out.

What we do offer is time, presence, and genuine care. You won’t be rushed. You won’t be judged. You’ll be welcomed.

We also offer flexibility. You can meet us at our office, talk to us by phone, connect virtually, or ask us to meet you somewhere you feel more comfortable. Support should work for you, not the other way around.

You Are Not Alone

No matter where you are on your journey, there’s a place for you here.

There’s space for your story. There’s room for your questions. There’s support for your next step.

Because at TOGETHER WE CAN, we believe in something simple:

Healing happens together.
