Peer Advocacy Program

The Peer Advocacy Program is an innovative, nationally recognized program in which trained mental health consumers provide advocacy and support from the perspective of a person who has been able to successfully cope with mental illness.

Peer advocates are available throughout Ellis Hospital Mental Health Services, including in the Emergency Room, Inpatient Psychiatric Unit and Outpatient Programs.

The Peer Advocacy Program offers mental health consumers extensive training and meaningful employment as Peer Advocates. The program also serves as a vocational opportunity, and many Peer Advocates eventually move on to competitive employment in Human Services and other fields.
