What is PSP BRANCH?? Click Subscribe to Learn More! What is PSP ECHO?
PSP BRANCH is an in-person networking event created by and for Peer Support Professionals that rotates locations monthly and draws participants from across the state of Colorado. Each gathering offers a space to connect, collaborate, share best practices, and learn from one another in a professional yet peer-centered environment.
By hosting or sponsoring this event, your organization makes a tangible investment in sustainability of workforce, community harmony, and visibility within the behavioral health ecosystem. This isn't just a meetup-it's a movement!
Peer Support Professionals ONLY Zoom Meeting (P.S.P. E.C.H.O.)
Every FRIDAY - 7:30AM - PSP ECHO is an acronym for Peer Support Professionals Empowering Community Helping Others. This is a safe meeting space for Peer Support Professionals *only*. Meaning, No participants. No supervisors. No administrators.
ECHO is meant for Peer workers from all walks (recovery, mental health, unhoused, veteran, etc.) to come together for support, networking, resources, and collaboration. This is a brave place where we are given the space to vent, ask questions, and be there for one another.
We need definitive space away from those we support so we can fulfill our own needs.

November PSP BRANCH ~ Family Support
November 11, 2026
PSP BRANCH Networking – Family Support
Come join Marcie Buel; Family Support Specialist at Advocates for Recovery Colorado to learn why family support is a key ingredient to the FAMILY recovery journey. Marcie will be sharing the tapestry of experiences of her childhood story, and how those experiences created a desire to help. Marcie will describe how a desire to help transformed into her journey of becoming a family support specialist. Marcie believes that when you can support the family of the individual struggling with substance use or mental health challenges you get greater outcomes for recovery, you gain new skills and understanding of how to use the skills you already possess and you are able to take better care of yourself!
📅Date: Wednesday, November 11, 2026
📍Location: 3440 W 71st Pl, Westminster, CO 80030
⌛Time: 3:30pm - 5pm
A little about Marcie Buel:
Marcie has navigated through her own lived experience and now holds the belief that the various types of direct help available to anyone struggling with substance abuse or mental health issues can also be applied to the other affected individuals – family, friends, partners. Marcie believes that there are multiple ways to provide assistance to people who might be on the periphery of the affected individual, and those people deserve help just as much. She knows that if the family is supported, it results in greater outcomes in recovery, improved life skills, and an overall brighter possible outcome for both the affected person and the family and friends around them.
The negative effects of active addiction or mental health struggles can radiate out from the individual and affect others in their life. Marcie believes that, fortunately, providing assistance to the family also works the same way, radiating outward and benefitting not just the single individual, but others who we understand can also be affected and sometimes overlooked.
