Crestwood Attends Peerpocalypse!

Peerpocalypse is an annual action-packed national conference dedicated to mental health, addiction recovery, and peer support. Hosted by The Peer Company, formerly the Mental Health & Addiction Association of Oregon (MHAAO), the four-day event brings together peer leaders, innovators and advocates to share expertise, skills, and lived experiences. The convention focuses on building community and pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the Peer Support field.

Crestwood was excited to sponsor and attend Peerpocalypse 2026, held May 4 – 7 in Seaside, OR. Greg Parnell represented Crestwood at the event and was thrilled to lead energetic Zumba sessions each morning of the conference. Greg also shared an informational table with Sarah Farmer of WRAP Inc., who co-facilitated Greg’s workshop: “Disruption, Discovery & Balance.” Together, they shared all things WRAP (Wellness Recovery Action Plan) and Crestwood.

Additional highlights included Lori Ashcraft and Eugene Johnson presenting: “Innovations in Peer Delivered Training Through Podcast Formats,” as well as Gloriana Hunter and Theresa Mast of Crestwood Recovery Resilience Solutions presenting: “Rising as Leaders: Maximizing Your Impact in Advanced Peer Roles.” It was a powerful conference and strong connections were made. We are already looking forward to next year!
