People USA is a peer-run mental health nonprofit that creates, provides, and promotes its own, innovative crisis response & wellness services. Being “peer-run” means that all our services are developed and operated by people who have personally overcome mental health issues, addiction, or trauma. This makes us a valuable addition and alternative to the traditional behavioral health care system. People USA’s unique, peer-led models are proven to significantly reduce hospital utilization, incarceration rates, and overall healthcare spending. Most importantly, they are built on an unbreakable foundation of customer engagement, comfortable environments, empathy, and positive expectations for people’s futures. We make Recovery the Expectation. We change the conversation from illness to Wellness. Because of our successes, our unique models and approaches have been studied and replicated across the United States & Europe. Our mission is to educate, support, and empower people and communities to understand, manage, and overcome mental health, addiction, and social determinant of health challenges.

Living with #ChronicPain extends beyond physical discomfort. Steve Miccio, CEO of People USA, knows this from personal experience with peripheral neuropathy and nerve damage. Chronic pain brings cognitive challenges, #depression, #anxiety, and sleep disturbances, affecting daily life. The emotional toll can often lead to depression and hopelessness, with significant stress on family and caregivers. According to JAMA Psychiatry, 30-50% of those with chronic pain meet clinical depression criteria. Steve advocates several strategies to bolster resilience and enhance overall wellbeing: - Education and Self-awareness - Physical Activity - Social Support - Peer Interactions People USA emphasizes peer support and community, offering a lifeline to those in pain. With the right strategies, individuals can improve their quality of life. “Insights from Personal and Professional Frontlines” By Steve Miccio People USA 📰 Read the article: https://lnkd.in/ec9SWCK4
