About us
People USA is a peer-run mental health nonprofit that creates, provides, and promotes its own, innovative crisis response & wellness services. Being “peer-run” means that all our services are developed and operated by people who have personally overcome mental health issues, addiction, or trauma. This makes us a valuable addition and alternative to the traditional behavioral health care system. People USA’s unique, peer-led models are proven to significantly reduce hospital utilization, incarceration rates, and overall healthcare spending. Most importantly, they are built on an unbreakable foundation of customer engagement, comfortable environments, empathy, and positive expectations for people’s futures. We make Recovery the Expectation. We change the conversation from illness to Wellness. Because of our successes, our unique models and approaches have been studied and replicated across the United States & Europe. Our mission is to educate, support, and empower people and communities to understand, manage, and overcome mental health, addiction, and social determinant of health challenges.

#SafetyThroughEmpathy #PeopleUSAOpioidCampaign In 2022, there were 5,337* Overdose deaths involving Opioids in New York State. Keep a look out on Fridays for our Safety through Empathy Campaign for facts and stats on the Opioid crisis. Knowing what Harm Reduction is and why it is important is a key step in providing Safety through Empathy! Harm reduction uses evidence-based approaches and practices to engage with people who use substances and equip them with life-saving tools to create positive changes in their lives. It is a way to meet people where they are while accepting that not everyone is ready or capable of stopping their substance use right away. You are not alone! If you or someone you love needs help, contact our Embedded Peer Specialist, Teisha Ganzy at Office: 845.452.2728 Ext. 206, Cell: 845.843.0277, Email: [email protected]. *This stat is from the New York State County Quarterly Reports to view the whole report use the link https://buff.ly/3VH0yws Like, Comment, Follow, Share! 💙 #FactFriday #PeopleUSA #MATTERS #OpioidCampaign #Opioid #Opiates #PeerSupport #StopTheStigma #OpioidCrisis #OpioidEpidemic #OpioidPrevention #OverdoseAwareness #HarmReduction #SubstanceUse #Recovery #Narcan #Naloxone #Hope #RoadtToWellness #PutnamCounty #NewYork

July is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month 💙 It is a time to bring awareness to the unique challenges that racial and ethnic minorities in the United States face when it comes to mental health challenges. Fewer than one in every two African American adults get care for mental health. Asian Americans are 60 percent less likely to receive mental health treatment than non-Hispanic Whites. Obstacles for many include a lack of health insurance, less access to treatment, and stigma.
