At Greater Mental Health of New York, we recognize the power of peer support in an individual’s road to recovery. Our Reach One program connects individuals who have a psychiatric diagnosis, substance use disorder, and/or have been recently incarcerated and are currently transitioning back into the community to those who have been successful in their own recoveries. When you talk with a Reach One Recovery Specialist, you can experience a special level of understanding and support.

Reach One is offered in collaboration with Independent Living, Inc. and PEOPLE, Inc.

Reach One can help you to:

• Feel comfortable in social situations
• Connect to social and recreational activities
• Discover new interests
• Navigate the transportation system
• Explore new learning or vocational opportunities, and
• Pursue your dreams

Reach One may be a good fit if you are someone over 18 years old and have a psychiatric diagnosis, substance use disorder, and/or have been recently incarcerated and are currently transitioning back into the community. All criteria are self-identified by the individual wanting services, and we do not need to see proof of diagnosis.
