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.
