Altarum supports the Peer Recovery Support Services Mentoring Initiative (PRSSMI). PRSSMI provides an opportunity for new or early-stage peer programs to be matched with and learn from more experienced programs in a structured way. Mentee sites receive consultation and support from staff, culminating in visits to mentor sites (PRSSMI will cover travel for up to three persons).

The PRSSMI program and application process are available on the Mentor Program FAQs and Mentee Program FAQs.
