With over 26 years of experience, JIMHO Project DOORS continues to assist peer-run organizations with all aspects from the start-up process, basic maintenance of an ongoing organization, and development of support groups.  It is our goal to ensure that peers deliver the best quality service possible and ensure that peers are making all the decisions.  If there is something missing from this list at the right, we are always willing to assist an organization with locating the resources necessary to complete any task.  JIMHO Project DOORS is available Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 4:30pm for consultation regarding consumer-run programs or self-help support groups.
