A telephone service provided by the Peer Support and Advocacy Network in partnership with the Allegheny County Department of Human Services Offices of Behavioral Health is available for mental health consumers, or any other interested parties that are 18 and older, to call for support.

Due to current situations such as the reduction of inpatient psychiatric services, funding cuts in service areas, hours of service delivery, and many other factors, assistance is not always available at the time it may be needed.

The service provides supportive listening, problem solving, resource sharing and peer support for individuals in Allegheny County. We anticipate that callers may be in need of other services and/or assistance so referrals will also be made available to them.
