Ways we Advocate
In addition to providing education, advocacy and support to families, the PEERS Project Advocates are becoming involved
in planning activities with the
Ohio Department of Mental Health.

PEERS Project Advocates are working with Legislators and Policy makers to advocate for change within the mental health system.

The PEERS Project hopes to help squash out stigma that our children face by reaching out to the community. We go to a variety of health fairs and other places where we have the opportunity to hand out information on mental and emotional, behavioral and developmental health issues.

What is the PEERS Project?
The PEERS Project began with a small group of parents who adopted a spiritual concept that in order to help themselves they must first help others.

How can PEERS Project help?
It became evident that parents who have children with emotional or mental health issues often times need assistance. Sometimes parents feel overwhelmed and simply need to share this with another who truly understands. When you need somebody to talk with, we are here.

What if I need more help?

We have specially trained the PEERS Project Advocates to assist you in a variety of ways.

Where can you help me?

• Public agency meetings
• Private agency meetings
• School meetings Hospitals

Anywhere that you may need help, however we will first take everybody’s safety into consideration.

How much does this service cost?

It is free, but donations are always welcomed.
