PeerTAC has been established with funding through the New York State Office of Mental Health to facilitate the inclusion of peer support services in mental health settings. Jointly led by the NYU McSilver Institute and the Academy of Peer Services at Rutgers University (APS), the Peer Support Services Technical Assistance Center (PeerTAC) will provide training, technical assistance, and consultation to New York State mental health practitioners and organizations implementing and utilizing peer support services.
PeerTAC is a collaboration between many organizations that are involved in the peer support workforce in New York State, which include Families Together in New York State (FTNYS) and the New York Association of Psychiatric Rehabiitation Services (NYAPRS). More partners will be added in the coming weeks.
