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, regardless of discharge status. While we focus on supporting peers in Multnomah County, we also are able to support Veterans in other parts of Oregon.
If you have any questions about this program, contact NAMI Multnomah 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.
