<p>"I have been lucky enough to get paid to things that used to get me tossed out of class in high school. All of the many jobs I do have to do with entertaining people...Large amounts at the same time and I wouldn't change it! I can not imagine going to work at a job I hate….Like many of my friends do..They may make more money but I am having waaaaaay more fun…”Because Fun is Good”!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Specialties: Being able to Promote and Brand like P.T. Barnum has kept me ahead of the curve in everything I have done in the last 25 years.  I can make something small and insignificant seem like something you have to be a part of…..I just don’t think outside the box I hate the box and I wouldn’t be caught dead in it.

<p>Additional Information: Definitions and experience required:</p>
<p></p>
<p>What is a Youth Peer Advocate (YPA)? What life experience is required?</p>
<p></p>
<p>YPAs are individuals between 18 and 30 years of age who have self-identified as a person who has first-hand experience with social, emotional, medical, developmental, substance use, and/or behavioral challenges. YPAs work with young people (primarily between ages 14-21) who are experiencing social, medical, emotional, developmental, substance use, and/or behavioral challenges in their home, school, placement, and/or community. These peer services provide the training and support necessary to ensure the active participation and engagement of young people in their own treatment planning process and in the development and reinforcement of skills.</p>
<p></p>
<p>What is a Family Peer Advocate (FPA)? What experience is required?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Family Peer Advocates (FPA) have ‘lived experience’ as the parent (biological, foster, adoptive) or primary caregiver of a child/youth with a social, emotional, behavioral, mental health, or developmental disability.  Interested candidates can receive training to develop skills and strategies that can lead to employment and promote the practice of family-driven and youth-guided approaches.  FPAs provide support services in a variety of settings including independent community-based family support programs, schools, clinics, residential programs, health homes, hospitals, and other community-based organizations. FPAs work in partnership with parents and service providers from all ‘systems’ including social services, education, mental health, developmental disabilities, juvenile justice, health, and substance abuse. This ‘cross-systems’ work comes naturally to FPAs because family needs cross all systems.</p>

YPAs work with young people (primarily between ages 14-21) who are experiencing social, medical, emotional, developmental, substance use, and/or behavioral challenges in their home, school, placement, and/or community. These peer services provide the training and support necessary to ensure the active participation and engagement of young people in their own treatment planning process and in the development and reinforcement of skills.

What is a Family Peer Advocate (FPA)? What experience is required?

Family Peer Advocates (FPA) have ‘lived experience’ as the parent (biological, foster, adoptive) or primary caregiver of a child/youth with a social, emotional, behavioral, mental health, or developmental disability.  Interested candidates can receive training to develop skills and strategies that can lead to employment and promote the practice of family-driven and youth-guided approaches.  FPAs provide support services in a variety of settings including independent community-based family support programs, schools, clinics, residential programs, health homes, hospitals, and other community-based organizations. FPAs work in partnership with parents and service providers from all ‘systems’ including social services, education, mental health, developmental disabilities, juvenile justice, health, and substance abuse. This ‘cross-systems’ work comes naturally to FPAs because family needs cross all systems.

                    <![CDATA[On this week’s episode of Your Best You, Antonio Benitez from Bolger House at MHA joins host Conor Walsh for a conversation about recovery, growth, and purpose. Antonio and Conor reflect on their shared time at Townsquare Media of the Hudson Valley and the paths that ultimately led them to their work with MHA. Antonio shares about the meaning and self-discovery he has found in his current role, and how drawing on his lived experience with recovery allows him to support others as they navigate their own journeys toward healing and wellness.
