The Olmstead Peer Support Program

The Olmstead Peer Support Program was designed to respond to the Olmstead v. L.C. Supreme Court case, which ruled that the Americans with Disabilities Act may require states to provide community-based services rather than institutional placements. The goals of this program are to work with consumers currently placed in psychiatric hospitals to get prepared to leave facilities, assit them in understanding their options in the community and be available for follow-up after they have left the hospitals.
