Overview

About Pink Love Houston

Pink Love Houston serves people navigating mental health challenges, substance use recovery, and life transitions with peer support that feels human, not clinical. Alongside one-on-one support and peer groups, it offers creative wellness events and WRAP to help people build steadier routines and respond to distress. For donors, the appeal is simple: this is support shaped by lived experience, mutuality, and real-world training for the people doing the work.

What sets Pink Love Houston apart is how firmly it stays rooted in peer support and lived experience. It also gives people a place to learn, through state-approved training for peer specialists and supervisors, so the model can keep growing with people who understand it from the inside.
