Job Description
Who We Are The Reno-Sparks Indian Colony represents descendants of three Great Basin Indigenous peoples: the Numu (Northern Paiute) , Newe (Western Shoshone) , and Washeshu (Washoe) . These communities lived in harmony with the land for generations before European contact, following seasonal cycles and forming small, efficient social groups for survival. Each group's name means "The People" in their own language, reflecting their deep cultural identity and connection to the Earth. They maintained strong traditions, respected neighboring tribes, and engaged in trade throughout the region. Today, the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony continues to honor these traditions while supporting the well-being, culture, and future of its tribal community. What You'll Do As a Peer Support Specialist, you'll help clients move toward healthier mental and physical well-being through recovery-oriented, person- and family-centered support. This role exists to strengthen engagement in behavioral health services and connect individuals to coordinated care. Key responsibilities include individualized health coaching; co-facilitating groups/classes; supporting informed, healthy decision-making; collaborating with behavioral health professionals and Case Managers; participating in treatment planning and team meetings; and maintaining timely, accurate documentation in the electronic health record. You will follow NAC 458 ethics and comply with CFR42 Part II and HIPAA confidentiality requirements.
