Peterborough, Ontario, Canada Canadian Mental Health Association-Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge Full time

The Early Psychosis Intervention (E.P.I.) program delivers public education, assessment, and treatment services for individuals experiencing the early stages of psychosis, and their families.

In the context of mental health, peer support is a beneficially supportive relationship between people who have a lived experience in common.

While each person's situation and path towards recovery is unique, the
Peer Specialist can provide emotional, social, and practical support for some of the shared challenges that persons with mental health conditions experience.

Hope is the starting point from which a journey of recovery begins, and Peer Specialists can inspire hope and demonstrate the possibility of recovery.

In addition to the provision of peer support to Lynx clients, the Peer Specialist position also provides the worker with a vocational recovery opportunity.


The
Peer Specialist focusses on the quality of life of young people experiencing early psychosis and considers an individual's wellness from a holistic point of view that includes relationships, involvement in their community, general wellbeing, and their sense of empowerment.

Peer Specialists provide mental health support delivered through evidenced-based practice approaches.
