Metro Boston Recovery Learning CommunityThe Metro Boston Recovery Learning Community (MBRLC) is an entirely peer-run organization dedicated to providing support, education and advocacy by providing opportunities and resources for individuals in finding their own path to mental health recovery. The MBRLC operates four peer-run centers: The Boston Resource Center (BRC) at Boston Medical Center, the Cambridge/Somerville Recovery Learning Center (CSRLC), the Peer Education Resource Center (PERC) and the newest center the Hope Center located at the Lindemann Center near North Station.
