People USA

Our Mission - Inspire hope with innovative behavioral health, advocacy, and wellness services delivered by peers, through our lived experience.

Our Vision - All people have equitable access to the support they need to thrive.

People USA is a peer-run mental health non-profit that creates, provides, and promotes its own innovative crisis response, and 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 change the conversation from illness to wellness. We make recovery the expectation.

Because of our successes, our unique models and approaches have been studied and replicated across the United States and Europe.

Our Values - Honesty, Compassion, Innovation, Community, Equity, Authenticity, Courage, Mutuality, Advocacy, and Peer Support
