Peerlink works to strengthen the capacity and infrastructure of peer-run programs and traditional mental health organizations. We also work with generic community agencies to increase their capacity to provide services to people diagnosed with mental illness that facilitate and promote social inclusion. We offer training in organizational capacity building, employment and financial self-sufficiency to people who use/have used mental health services.
