What is Project PEER?
We empower those affected by brain injury through leadership development, healthy living skills and Social skills for the workplace training. By utilizing professionals/families with brain injuries to lead these interactive workshops, participants will relate and create valuable long-lasting relationships.
We provide trained mentors who are prepared to help individuals with brain injury and caregivers develop their
own personal futures plan and then find the skills, resources and support to reach those goals.
