Peer Support: A program that offers adults a voluntary, home-like, non- medical space in which they can participate in activities with others that have similar lived experiences related to mental health. Trained peer professionals assist those adults to focus on wellness before they reach a point of crisis in group settings.
Guardian Advocates: Guardian Advocates, trained through a 4-hour certification course, respond to requests for temporary guardianship of involuntarily committed clients at local behavioral health hospitals. They advocate for patient rights and ensure fair treatment under part IV of chapter 744, Florida State Statute when no family members are available.
