PEER SUPPORT: MHAST has supported mental health recovery for decades, utilizing a peer-based model of service provision. Many of our program staff identify as peers – people with lived experience in mental health – and complete a certification with NYS to become a Certified Peer Specialist. Lived experience creates a sense of trust and relatability and is proven to be an effective approach to support others.

The Warm Line is a phone line answered 24/7 by our Direct Support Professional staff. Each staff member is a NYS Certified Peer Specialist and will provide individuals a listening ear, support, encouragement and community resource information as needed.
