Youth Peer Advocates
This peer support is open to adolescent youth between the ages of 13-18. Youth Peer Advocates facilitate one on one and a strength-based group to give youth the opportunity to connect with their peers, validate each others' experiences, and discuss management of mental health. The group offers a safe place for youth to receive support as well as to celebrate accomplishments and practice self-care skills.
