Your Support is Needed
CHEEERS Recovery Center is a non-profit community service agency serving adults with serious mental illness and behavioral health challenges. Our state certified Peer Supports provide Recovery Support Services through classes, groups, events, and one-on-one mentoring. We help individuals find meaning, purpose and social connections in their lives. Please consider us when making your contributions this year.
Research has shown that peer support facilitates recovery and reduces health care costs. Peers also provide assistance that promotes a sense of belonging within the community. The ability to contribute to and enjoy one’s community is key to recovery and well-being. (SAMHSA)
This year Governor Doug Ducey signed into legislation SB 1216, which increases Arizona’s 2016 charitable tax credit donation limits. This means individuals are now allowed to give more to nonprofit organizations (Single, $400 and Married Joint $800) while taking larger dollar-for-dollar tax credits !** **subject to income tax liability thresholds caps. Please consult your tax professional to determine eligibility. The contributions deadline in Arizona for Charitable Organizations has been extended to April 15th, 2017 however; you may want to make your year-end donation now, just two days left in 2016 !!!

At CHEEERS our primary focus is in these areas:
EMPOWERMENT is key to our program in helping our participants identify and utilize their strengths in order to advance their recovery. We provide EDUCATION and resources, so that our participants can promote understanding and work to de-stigmatize mental illness and substance abuse. EMPLOYMENT is a primary goal so that our participants develop job skills to move forward in their lives with hope and purpose.
