Direct peers

• NAMI Greater Houston: NAMI Greater Houston is a Houston-area affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Illness that runs free peer-led support groups for individuals and families affected by mental illness. It is the most directly comparable peer to re:MIND, operating the same peer-support-group model in the same Houston geography.
• Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA): DBSA is the national organization that re:MIND was formerly affiliated with as DBSA Greater Houston. It runs a nationwide network of free peer support groups specifically for depression and bipolar disorder — the same mission and population as re:MIND, making it the closest national-level direct peer.
• Mental Health America of Greater Houston: Mental Health America of Greater Houston provides community-based mental health education, support programs, and advocacy in the same Houston market as re:MIND. It overlaps on free community support and mental health awareness programming.
• The Montrose Center: The Montrose Center is a Houston-based LGBTQ+ community center that hosts re:MIND's LGBTQIA+ support groups. It is comparable as a peer because it provides affirming mental health and community support services in the same Houston geography for overlapping populations.
• Bring Change to Mind: Bring Change to Mind is a nonprofit that runs mental health awareness and school-based peer-led programs for adolescents. It is a direct peer because of its comparable youth/school peer-support model targeting stigma reduction and adolescent mental health.

Broad incumbents

• The Harris Center for Mental Health and IDD: The Harris Center is the local mental health authority for Harris County providing clinical mental health, IDD, and 24/7 crisis services. It is a broad incumbent peer because it operates a much larger portfolio of mental health services in the same geography and is re:MIND's primary crisis-referral partner.
• NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness): NAMI is the largest nationwide grassroots mental health organization offering free peer support groups, family-to-family education, and advocacy. It is a broad incumbent peer because it covers all mental health conditions at scale versus re:MIND's depression/bipolar specialty.
• American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP): AFSP is a national nonprofit dedicated to suicide prevention through research, education, advocacy, and loss survivor support. It is comparable as a broad incumbent peer addressing an adjacent condition (suicide) with similar free community programming model.

Emerging players

• The Trevor Project: The Trevor Project provides crisis intervention and mental health support specifically for LGBTQ+ youth. It is an emerging peer because it overlaps on re:MIND's LGBTQIA+ youth/adolescent support mission but delivers it through a national digital/chat model rather than community groups.
• 7 Cups: 7 Cups is a digital platform offering free peer-to-peer emotional support and online support communities. It is an emerging peer because it provides free, group-based peer support for depression and similar conditions — overlapping with re:MIND's online support group model but at a national digital scale.
