Are you passionate about supporting the children and families that we serve and have personal experience navigating child welfare and/or behavioral health services? At Seneca, we seek a compassionate and assertive individual to give back to our communities by becoming our next Transitional Age Youth (TAY) Peer Specialist.
The Transitional Age Youth Peer Specialist provides peer support and advocacy to consumers of Seneca’s services. Peer support may include one-on-one peer support as well as in group settings. The Peer Support Specialist draws upon their own personal experience navigating systems to work individually with youth and/or family members to engage them in the process, increase their involvement, and assist them in achieving their care plan goals. This includes a wide range of activities in order to function as a member of the supporting team as well as provide individual support. The Peer Support Specialist may also be involved in community awareness and leadership activities.
ABOUT RIVERSIDE WRAPAROUND
Seneca offers "Wraparound" services to youth and families experiencing emotional/behavioral challenges in the home. The Wraparound programs are strengths-based, family-driven, flexible, and creative, with the goal of helping the family develop the skills and supports to prevent or reduce the possibility of out-of-home placement of their child. A family-based team addresses the needs of the entire family, not just the child of focus. This family-based team consists of family members, Seneca's Therapists, Youth Counselors, Parent Partners, Facilitators and other community members who have an important role in the family.
