Additional Information: Each of our peer specialists have a different story, one that includes lived experience, meaning they have in the past personally dealt with major mental health conditions (in-patient or out-patient), substance abuse, and/or other chronic health conditions and are successfully managing their recovery. In addition to the above, the Youth Peer Support Specialist focuses on individuals typically between the ages 16-22 to address school challenges, transition into adulthood and provide coaching and supports to support long-term recovery.
