Peer Support at Rebel's Drop-In Center

A haven for connecting with peers and receiving mental health services support.

Rebel’s Drop-In Center opened in 2001 to honor a young woman who died fighting substance abuse and mental health issues. Today, it’s a safe space for anyone who needs connection and peer support.

Recovery is a journey, and no one should walk it alone. Open 365 days a year, Rebel's Drop‑In Center offers adults a safe, judgment‑free space to relax, connect, and grow outside of formal therapy. Membership is free and everyone is welcome.

Our program features games, arts and crafts, holiday celebrations, and peer‑led groups such as NAMI, depression support, men’s group, emotional wellness, and the Schizophrenia Alliance. Whether you’re playing dominoes, painting, or sharing in a support circle, you’ll find encouragement, friendship, and understanding.

The Rebels team includes peers and staff who believe that connection, mentoring, and shared experience are vital to recovery. Participants often report reduced stress and isolation, along with stronger life skills and emotional stability.

The center is funded through grants from the Broward County Health and Human Services Division and the Broward Behavioral Health Coalition, continuing the legacy of Anne “Rebel” Bowen and her family’s vision of hope.
