Honoring and Supporting Peer Support in Healing-Centered Approaches

This fourth and final session’s essential question is: How might organizations truly value, uplift, and support the wisdom and skill of those with lived experience? Join us as we explore peer support in healing-centered engagement.

The learning objectives include:

1. How YYA serving organizations can implement peer support providers, and uplift lived experience professionals
2. Learn about the power and benefits of peer support in a young person’s life
3. Ways to implement peer support in young people’s treatment plan as a way to promote employment opportunities and belonging
4. How to create youth leadership programming and youth voice initiatives

Healing-centered care allows us to dig deeper. Join Youth and Young Adult co-leads Oriana Ides, Falilah “Aisha” Bilal, and Evelyn Clark on May 22,  at 6 pm EST as they lay the groundwork and explore how healing-centered care may be integrated to the practices of YYA-serving organizations.

• Counter the impacts of vicarious trauma and burn out by creating a safe and responsive learning community for the YYA workforce to be heard and seen in their efforts to support the holistic needs of their clientele.
• Build an understanding of healing centered engagement and approaches to youth development and case management that strengthens service provision for transition-aged youth.
• Expand our organizational and individual capacity to support young adult holistic wellness, critical consciousness development, and collective healing.

This is Session 4 of 4 in the “Rooting Young Adult Mental Health Services in Culturally Sustaining Values & Practices” Series.
