The Alliance for Rights and Recovery

The Alliance for Rights and Recovery The Alliance for Rights and Recovery (formerly NYAPRS) is a unique coalition of advocates Formerly known as NYAPRS.

Founded in 1981, The Alliance for Rights and Recovery has its origins in New York's clubhouse and social club community. Since then our aim has been to bring together and serve the needs of the broad spectrum of community based mental health recovery, rehabilitation and peer support services in New York.
