Trauma Survivor Project
TSP provides trained peer-to-peer support volunteers to meet the gaps in services to trauma survivors who may be frequent users of police, hospital, and/or emergency services, and whose level of functioning is significantly impaired by the severity of their symptoms.
TSP Volunteers have intimate experience with suicide or suicidal behavior, self-harming, addiction, post-traumatic stress disorder, borderline personality disorder, childhood abuse, or repeated psychiatric hospitalization.
TSP Volunteers come from a variety of backgrounds, cultures and perspectives, and have diverse skills.
TSP Volunteers are support persons who will walk a path of hopefulness and recovery with the survivor. The survivor will set the pace and define his or her own needs and goals.
TSP Survivors have the ability within them to meet their own challenges, build and maintain their own support systems, and to express and impart hope. Survivors can relate to other survivors in order to "humanize" a de-humanizing experience.
Consumer Care Partnerships
CCP has been operational as an organized group of consumers since May, 2001. Individualized strengths and talents are multiplied when people join together.
CCP is a peer-to-peer program that assists mental health and/or drug and alcohol consumers with creating a community-based support team.
CCP addresses the needs of adult consumers by facilitating wrap-around teams to support and nurture the recovery process by utilizing consumer chosen team members.
All team members are encouraged to think "out of the box" to design an action plan that is: Individualized, Proactive, Creative and Flexible.
CCP received the Thomas M. Wernert Award for Innovation in Community
Behavioral Healthcare (2003) followed by a division award from Marion County for Outstanding Volunteer Service.
