A SAMHSA sponsored webinar developed under contract by the National Council for Behavioral Health, will take place Wednesday, April 18, 2018 at 12:00pm Eastern Time called Peer Operated Services: Deep Dive into Two Models.
Description: Peer-operated services can help individuals living with extensive physical health, behavioral health and social needs manage or avert crisis, prevent relapse and readmission, and provide an alternative to homelessness and re-incarceration.
Join the National Council to explore two peer-operated service models. Hands Across Long Island has effectively engaged homeless individuals and successfully promoted re-entry from prison. The New York Association of Psychiatric Rehabilitation Services (NYAPRS) created the peer bridger model which has successfully engaged and assisted thousands of New Yorkers in their transition from state and local hospitals into the community and reduced avoidable emergency room and inpatient service use.
Presenters:
•Harvey Rosenthal, Executive director of the New York Association of Psychiatric Rehabilitation Services (NYAPRS)
•Ellen Healion, Executive Director of Hands Across Long Island, Inc.
