In my state there are some peer support centers, funded by the state, and staffed by peer support specialists. I went there for several years when I was at my worst but because I'm not considered disabled I don't feel so comfortable there anymore. Still it was a good start, and if you don't have any in your state then maybe you could help advocate for something like that to get started?
Here we don't have anything like that. Here we have something called 'Civic centers' were there are libraries, gyms, and many activities are made, the only problem is you have to pay for them (the only thing that's free it's the library) and I am poor. I have to pay 50€ the first time I sign in and then 43€ for a year suscription which means I have a 50% disscount on cultural activities and sport.

I could meet people going to this kind of things (and at the same time do excercise and learn new things like painting, drawing, ... but I have to talk about this with my pdoc since it's a lot of money for me)
