Adirondack Peer-to-Peer Veterans Program (Dwyer Project)

The programme. Veterans' Services' Peer-to-Peer page: "The Adirondack Peer-to-Peer Veterans Program serves veterans in Warren and Washington Counties who are experiencing Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) or other re-acclimation challenges. The program is open to all Veterans transitioning from military service to civilian life regardless of their character of discharge. With the support of local, state and federal resources as well as trained Peers, this program will assist with reintegration and sustenance of personal health and wellness with a special emphasis on veterans who are at risk of suicide and/or homelessness." It is one of the State-funded PFC Joseph P. Dwyer veteran peer support projects, with peer mentors and peer drivers who receive mileage reimbursement and an advisory board of veterans of every era.
