SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Our Response to Coronavirus (COVID-19)
People USA provides people living with mental health or addiction issues with the highest quality, effective peer services and behavioral health care.
We are a peer-run nonprofit organization. This means our agency is 100% made up of people with their own lived experience with mental health or addiction issues, recovery, and moving towards wellness.
Our mission is to educate, support, and empower people to understand, manage, and overcome behavioral health challenges.
People USA (est. 1990 as PEOPLe Inc.) has grown from a grassroots peer advocacy and support organization to become one of the most recognized and respected behavioral health organizations in the United States.
We have spread our unique models and best practices across the U.S. and internationally.
People USA has supported more than 30,000 individuals on their unique recovery journeys since our founding. More than 5,000 people each year connect with us to work on behavioral health and overall wellness. Since creating Rose House, People USA has diverted well over 20,000 hospital days.
People USA focuses on helping individuals meet their own wellness goals. Our approach to behavioral health is centered on engagement, environment, mutuality and philosophy.
People USA was born directly out of a struggle for civil rights, the Consumer/Survivor/Ex-Patient Movement. It gave rise to Peer Services, which is a valuable addition, alternative, and source of continuing innovation to the behavioral health system.
Steve Miccio, CEO, is a spokesperson and advocate for behavioral health initiatives who has shifted the national paradigm in terms of crisis response and wellness services. His team of professionals has led more than 30 thousand people on their journeys toward wellness.
People USA proudly partners with many of the premier government and social service agencies in New York State, nationally and internationally.
People USA is a great, supportive work environment. All of our staff have lived experience, which does so much to inform our work and support our community. Openings for qualified individuals are listed here.
