Jefferson Transitional Programs
Our Mission: Jefferson Transitional Programs works to educate and empower individuals who carry a mental health diagnosis through the use of peer support, creative arts, vocational support, peer-driven wellness, and anti-stigma outreach.
Jefferson Transitional Programs is made possible by the Riverside County Department of Mental Health, the Riverside Community Health Foundation, the City of Riverside and the Riverside Arts Council, United Way and funders like you. JTP also receives Measure A and New Freedom funds for transportation services.Since 1990, Jefferson Transitional Programs (JTP) has offered vocational, supported sober living, and educational programs for more than 6,000 individuals with chronic mental illness or individuals with both mental illness and addictions, many of whom are homeless. The nonprofit’s purpose is to empower individuals with the skills and tools necessary to move from crisis to stability, victim to survivor, and a state of hopelessness to happiness. JTP offers these services until an individual can meet their program goals and objectives, determining their own length of stay with JTP.
The people of JTP operate on the belief that a peer-delivered service, that is services from those who have “been there,” are essential to the successful rehabilitation of people with severe mental illness. At JTP’s three Peer Support and Resource Centers, the Art Works gallery, and safe havens The PLACE and the PATH, peer staff members coordinate outreach and facilitate courses that encourage individuals to take responsibility for their own wellness. –– JTP’s workforce consists of 90% peers.
