Mental Health Greensboro

Mental Health Greensboro improves the mental wellness of individuals, families and communities through education, services and collaboration. We assist individuals to manage their symptoms, stay in recovery, rebuild relationships, and pursue life goals such as higher education and employment opportunities. MHG is an essential source of continuing education programs for new and experienced peer support specialists. We are Greensboro’s only dedicated peer support recovery organization combining peer support training, peer education, peer coaching, and support group facilitation.

Our programs are based on the Recovery model of behavioral health treatment, and use evidence based guidelines put forth by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Central to this model is the idea that in addition to clinical treatment, those recovering from mental illness or substance abuse benefit greatly from peer support, social inclusion, and community building, and that recovery is successful when individuals take an active role in learning about their diagnoses and strategies for managing their symptoms. MHG organizes its services across three program areas – Peer Supportive Services, Public Mental Health Education, and Peer Support Specialist Education.

All programs and services are provided free of charge. To learn more about us, visit our website at www.mhag.org.
