The Boarding Home Outreach Program provides services to over 200 persons with mental illness living in Atlantic County’s Boarding Homes and Residential Health Care Facilities. A team of peer helpers schedule visits to each home in order to explain the social and recreational services being offered by the program in conjunction with the ICE Wellness Programs. Trained BHO staff work to encourage residents to take advantage of these social and recreational opportunities. Often times it is an encouraging word that may help someone decide to participate. Schedules for in house and out of house activities are arranged with each Boarding Home.
