Peer Support Certification:

Project ABLE was the first peer-led organization in the State of Oregon to receive accreditation from the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) in 2010. Since this time, Project ABLE has trained thousands of peers from all over Oregon to become certified Peer Support Specialists (PSS).

Continuing Education Units (CEUs):

To make sure everyone stays current on their certification(s), the State of Oregon requires annual continuing educational training. We offer a variety of course that meet these requirements on campus, on-line and in some cases we’ll bring the class to you.

Vocational Rehabilitation

In partnership with Oregon’s Vocational Rehabilitation Office, Project ABLE offers the full range of peer support programs to individuals seeking to re-enter the workforce. This program is available to Vocational Rehabilitation clients who are also consumers of mental health services.

Veteran Services

Peer Support is when an individual provides support to another who shares similar life experiences. When working with veterans this is important because only those who’ve taken the Oath of Enlistment understand military related trauma are considered peers and know what it’s like to sign that blank check, made payable to “The United States of America.”

Project ABLE survives through generous grants and donations.
