We are seeking a compassionate and dedicated Certified Peer Support Counselor/Specialist to join our team. This position is primarily focused on supporting adults receiving mental health services, including individuals with co-occurring Substance Use Disorder (SUD) and those involved in drug court, DOC, etc. The Peer Support Counselor will work alongside Mental Health Counselors in a team-approach to provide guidance, encouragement, and resources to help clients build and maintain a stable and healthy lifestyle. This role may also involve working with youth, as we grow as an agency.
As people who have availed themselves of mental/behavioral health services, Peer Support staff will tactfully share their own experiences as well as the skills, strengths, supports, and resources they use. When therapeutically relevant, peer support staff will share their own recovery stories and will demonstrate how they have directed their own recovery processes.
