about
The Youth MOVE National Peer Center
MOTIVATING OTHERS THROUGH VOICES OF EXPERIENCE
Across the country, recovery-oriented services and consumer run organizations, including youth and family- run organizations, are increasingly seen as vital supports within the mental health service array. Youth MOVE National’s Peer Center was established in July 2020, with grant funding support from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. As a youth-run peer organization, YMN honors lived experience and recognizes the value of both traditional and non-traditional supports. We serve peers across the lifespan, their families, and providers of all ages, to grow the youth peer movement across the United States. As one of five funded Centers, we look forward to collaborating with our partners to improve and sustain the implementation of peer and recovery-oriented services and supports.

I love how my experience with Youth MOVE has brought me together with other young adult leaders and gotten us all more involved in our community on a common issue: mental health.
