Faith-Based Support for Children, Youth, and Families

Peter Project primarily serves children and adolescents who may be experiencing behavioral, emotional, social, or mental health challenges. We also work with parents, guardians, caregivers, schools, foster care agencies, and community partners to support the child’s overall needs.

Peter Project services include but are not limited to:

Skills Training & Development
Case Management
Psychosocial Assessments
Individual and Family Support
Crisis Support and Safety Planning
Parent/Guardian Support
Community-Based Behavioral Health Support
Independent Living and Life Skills Support
Services may vary based on eligibility, medical necessity, insurance coverage, and client needs.

Services may be provided in the home, school, community, office, or through approved telehealth options when appropriate. We focus on meeting clients where support is needed most.

Peter Project works with Medicaid-covered services with no out of pocket cost to you. Our team will verify insurance and eligibility during the intake process.

For Medicaid-covered services, eligible clients may receive services at no cost to the family when services are approved and covered by the client’s Medicaid plan. If a service is not covered, our team will explain available options before services begin.

A formal referral is helpful, but it may not always be required. Parents, guardians, schools, foster care agencies, hospitals, community partners, and other providers may submit a referral. Families may also reach out directly through our Get Started page.

You can begin by completing the online referral or intake form on our Get Started page. After the form is submitted, a member of our team will review the information and contact you regarding next steps.

Once your referral or application is submitted, our team will review the information, verify insurance if applicable, and contact the parent or guardian to discuss eligibility, service needs, required documents, and next steps.

You may need the client’s basic information, parent or guardian contact information, insurance or Medicaid details, reason for referral, diagnosis if known, and any important history or safety concerns.

If a question or section does not apply, please enter “N/A” instead of leaving it blank. This helps us review your application faster and prevents delays.

Documents may include consent forms, client rights forms, insurance information, Medicaid ID, guardian identification, diagnosis or discharge paperwork if available, school or treatment records if applicable, and any other documents needed to determine eligibility and service needs.

Families may request preferences when available. Provider assignment may depend on location, availability, service needs, insurance requirements, and the best fit for the client.
