If you have lived experience with behavioral health challenges and a passion for helping others on their journey to recovery, this is a unique opportunity to turn your story into strength for others-especially during their most vulnerable moments. What You'll Be Doing As a Crisis Peer Counselor, you will provide vital peer support services during the NOC (overnight) shift, helping children, youth, adolescents, and their caregivers during behavioral health crises. Under the guidance of the Program Manager, your work will focus on stabilization, advocacy, empowerment, and community-based support.

• Collaborating with clinical staff to monitor client symptoms, inform treatment goals, and provide holistic care.
• Advocating for the client's preferences and dignity in all interactions.

Who You'll Be Working With The CYFCT team is made up of skilled professionals committed to trauma-informed, strength-based, and culturally responsive care. We specialize in short-term crisis intervention and prevention services for youth and families, regardless of their funding source.
