People USA will be attending the Jim Garvey Memorial Disability Resources Fair. 🫶 Co-hosted by Resource Center for Accessible Living, Inc. (RCAL) and Saint James United Methodist Church join us for this free resource event on Saturday, November 9 from 10 AM - 2 PM. Members of the community are invited to attend and meet vendors with expertise and resources to share. Come learn about the resources available to you and your family. 💙 This event is dedicated to the memory of Jim Garvey. Jim was both a beloved member of Saint James United Methodist Church and part of the founding of RCAL. He was known for generosity and a sense of adventure. Jim could be seen walking throughout Kingston with his guide dog or riding in a tandem bicycle with his kids leading the way. His warmth, disability advocacy, and sense of humor continue to inspire us. #ResourceFair #UlsterCounty #CareCoordination #PeopleUSA #PeopleUSANow #Nonprofit #MentalHealth #Advocacy #Peers #WellnessServices #Community #Support #Recovery #Sobriety #Prevention #Hope #RoadToMentalWellness #NewYork

About us
People USA is a peer-run mental health nonprofit that creates, provides, and promotes its own innovative crisis response and 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.
