Welcome To Ascend
Hope. Healing. Connection. Recovery
Whether you’re looking for support, friendship, resources, or simply a safe place to belong, you’ll find it here.
ASCEND is a peer-run nonprofit organization proudly serving adults throughout Stark County, Ohio. We provide free, peer-led recovery and wellness services in a safe, welcoming, and non-clinical environment where individuals can find hope, healing, and connection.
Our programs are led by Certified Peer Recovery Supporters with lived experience who understand the recovery journey firsthand because they’ve walked it themselves. Through compassion, education, and encouragement, we empower individuals to build resilience, develop healthy coping skills, and create meaningful lives.
At ASCEND, we believe recovery is possible for everyone. Through compassion, encouragement, and shared understanding, we empower people to move forward one step at a time.
