The Alliance for Rights and Recovery
OMH CORE Peer Navigator Project
The OMH CORE Peer Navigator Project, through the Alliance for Rights and Recovery, connects a Peer Navigator with Health and Recovery Plan (HARP) members who are discovering recovery and all its possibilities as they work toward success. One call to the Navigator Line at 855-PEERNAV (855-733-7628) connects an individual with a peer to assist in identifying goals and accessing Community Oriented Recovery and Empowerment (CORE) Services to help meet those goals. They will support them throughout the referral, engagement, and service delivery process.
- Who Can Call: HARP enrolled, or HARP and HIV-Special Needs Plan (SNP) eligible individuals interested in OMH CORE services -or- providers supporting HARP eligible or enrolled individuals with mental health and/or addiction related challenges.
- What to Expect: A Peer Navigator Line Specialist will answer each call and determine eligibility to participate. If eligible, the individual will be connected to a Peer Navigator in their region.
- What is a Peer Navigator: A Peer Navigator is a person with lived experience of mental health and/or addiction related recovery who is an expert in CORE Services. They will explore the caller’s personal recovery goals and interest in voluntary involvement with CORE services. The Peer Navigator will support their peer through education, referral, and service engagement.
