What we do
SMART Peer to Peer, Inc. is a registered 503c non-profit organization (SMART Peer to Peer, Inc. tax ID # 93-2857739) made up of a wide array of current, former or closely related first responder volunteers from Schoharie County agencies.
It is important to note; Peer Support is NOT counseling. Members are trained to a support level and are not professional counselors, clinicians or therapists. However, the organization raises awareness of first responder related stress, and warning signs, and utilizes its abilities to help connect those in need with professional services when needed.
