The Oregon Peer Employment Support (OPES)/Consumer Network Project proposes to enhance state capacity for offering person-directed employment planning facilitation that is consumer/survivor-delivered. A special emphasis will be placed on partnership development with veterans. The goals of the project are 1) to revise the OPES training guide and obtain the state mental health authority approval for funding peer employment support (PES) as a Medicaid-reimbursable service; 2) increase the numbers of consumers who complete the PES training and who are approved to offer peer-delivered employment services; 3) increase collaboration and communication between consumer-run organizations and veteran-run organizations; 4) disseminate via newsletter information related employment news, tools, and resources; and 5) obtain evaluation data on the effectiveness of the PES curriculum.
