PGC MRT TEAM PEER

Imind Health LLC•Lanham, MD

About The Position

As a Certified Peer Recovery Specialist of the stabilization and support team, you will work alongside a clinician to respond to crises within Prince George’s County Public Schools. The main role of the peer supporter is to help a person cope or deal better with problems, and equip or encourage them to do things that could improve their health and outlook on life. The fact that they have lived through similar challenges (a “practical living example,” someone who has been there) may help them share their experience, provide non-judgmental support, and bring encouragement and hope for positive outcomes. Another key part of the peer supporter role is to provide practical information that health care professionals may not offer as part of formal treatment services or clinical practice. This information may be especially important to help participants adapt to and cope with the changes and new challenges in their life.
