Together for Change: McCleary Recovery Partners with My Mental Health.
At McCleary Recovery, we believe that no one should face the challenges of substance use, trauma, or mental health struggles alone. That’s why we’re proud to announce our new partnership with My Mental Health, a powerful virtual recovery resource providing 24/7 support to individuals and families navigating the path of healing.
Our missions align in a meaningful way: we both work to eliminate barriers, reduce stigma, and offer accessible, compassionate care to those who need it most.
About My Mental Health
Founded after the tragic loss of their founder’s sister, Sharon, who passed away from an overdose after waiting hours for care in an emergency room, My Mental Health was created to make sure no one else has to face that experience. In her honor, they developed the Virtual Recovery System™ — a 24/7 self-guided, evidence-based platform offering immediate, private recovery tools for Substance Use Disorder, trauma, PTSD, and more, with no insurance or financial barriers.
Available by phone, tablet, or PC, anyone can instantly access life-changing resources and join a stigma-free community committed to long-term healing.

“We don’t wait for people to come to us, we go to them, with open hands and open hearts. Recovery begins with connection.”
Founded in loving memory of Cole McCleary, McCleary Recovery was born from personal loss and transformed into a grassroots movement of hope. We meet people exactly where they are — offering peer-driven support, harm reduction tools, education, and direct outreach to those struggling with substance use, mental health issues, and homelessness.
Our mission is built on dignity, compassion, and long-lasting impact. Through advocacy, real connection, and meeting immediate needs, McCleary Recovery empowers individuals and communities to take the next step — whatever recovery looks like for them.
Why This Partnership Matters
By teaming up, McCleary Recovery and My Mental Health are combining on-the-ground, peer-driven outreach with innovative digital resources to offer more complete, accessible, and immediate support for those in need.
