Family Peer Advocate

Are you parent or caregiver to a child with emotional, social, or mental health challenges? Are you going through a particularly rough challenge and need some extra support? Our Family Peer Advocate is here to listen to your story and work with you one-on-one to find a solution. Whether it’s finding you the appropriate resources or going to court, social services, or a hospital on your behalf, we’re here to help you get through this!

Services:

• One-on-one phone call or meeting to understand problems
• Customized solutions according to your needs
• Assistance applying for services
• Representation or accompaniment where needed

What is the program like?

First we’ll get you on the line to understand what your problem is. Then we’ll figure out what you need and help you access it. You’ll primarily be interacting with Kasha, our Family Peer Advocate. She might also connect you to other organizations or services that can help you.

How do I participate?

If you and/or your family need help, the first step is to contact Kasha directly at 845-473-2500 ext. 1329.
