Peer Support Specialist Coordinator for Linn and Polk County
Project ABLE
01.2012 - 08.2016
- Company Overview: Website https://projectable.org
- Project ABLE and I provided services in 2 counties. Linn County until the contract ended in 2014, then Polk County until 2016. I met with mental health caseworkers, matched their client referrals with our trained Peer Support Specialist, and formed wrap-around teams for the client. We also supported the individuals in developing natural supports and connecting clients to community resources. Also, I managed the Peer Supports and payroll. We did bi-monthly check-in meetings with our Peers so I could evaluate their team's progress, brainstorm ideas, and collect paperwork. I also developed a curriculum and role plays to encourage advancement and confidence in their skills and techniques.
