Adults with psychiatric disabilities have, since 1999, found support, guidance and practical advice through Northside Hospital’s Behavioral Health Services program, The Peer Project. As its name implies, The Peer Project employs a “peer-to-peer” counseling strategy. The Peer Project’s programs include Job Club, Life Matters and computer classes. Participants increase their skills, share recovery-based ideals with one another, find jobs and experience empowerment. The only program of its kind in Fulton County, The Peer Project requires a physician or therapist referral. Classes are free.
Membership
The Peer Project membership consists of Mental Health consumers living in Fulton County, who receive treatment for their illness from a licensed professional. To initiate membership into the program you must request a doctor or therapist to submit a specific referral from The Peer Project. When the signed referral is received, an acceptance letter will be sent. There is no fee for attendance. You may attend as many or as few services as you choose. Computer classes are requested to have regular attendance so that people may have a chance to learn.
