As a peer navigator my position was to give clients social and emotional support. I worked with the clients as a peer navigator by spending time with them and doing things such as playing games with clients, teaching clients how to make different meals, doing art activities with clients, helping with different classes such as life skills and cooking classes and other social activities. As a peer navigator I built strong relationships with clients to help provide them support and make them feel welcomed in the building. With my position I also created a mental health support group for teens and young adults for the clients I worked with as well as others in the community. Another part of my position of being a peer navigator was keeping the building clean for the staff and clients.
