Veteran Peer Support Services

At NAMI Multnomah, we offer free one-on-one peer support for Veterans. These services are offered free of charge to Veterans and military service members across Oregon, regardless of discharge status.

If you have any questions about this program, contact the NAMI Multnomah HelpLine at 503-228-5692 or info@namimultnomah.org.

For information about training to become a Peer Support Specialist, see our page here.


Our Veteran Peer Support Specialists use their personal experiences with military culture, mental health challenges, and recovery to support and inspire hope in other Veterans.

Learn more about the program directly from two of our Veteran Peer Support Specialists.

They can assist you to:

  • Get information and support to make your goals a reality

  • Create a personalized safety/relapse prevention plan

  • Make informed, independent choices

  • Identify and build on your strengths

  • Access community and Veterans resources

  • Answer questions about mental illness

  • Offer support in times of struggle and crisis

  • Develop coping skills and maintain recovery

These services are confidential, and can be offered in-person at our NE Portland office or remotely via phone or video chat. Veterans may be referred by a provider, or self-refer to our program.
