Peers are there to listen and walk beside you in your recovery, empowering you along the way.

Having faced similar experiences, peers can relate to your situation like no one else can. You lead the process, deciding what you want and need from Peer Support. It's your personal journey, and you choose your own path.

Project ABLE and those who provide Peer Support through Project ABLE are mandatory reporters as required by law. However, we use a high level of discernment when determining whether or not to make a report, because many of us understand how traumatizing the system has been for some individuals experiencing mental health issues.

The first step to volunteering is to come in for a WELCOME and sign up for and attend a Volunteer Orientation where you will hear more about volunteering and volunteer opportunities. 

From there, we'll guide you as you learn about any responsibilities you may have at Project ABLE.
