Welcome to the
Youth MOVE National
Peer Center
Offering Training, Resources, & Support to Youth, Individuals with Lived-Experience, and the Mental Health Workforce
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.
We offer responsive technical assistance with a tiered menu of options to make a long-lasting impact on all of our partners.
We host an annual learning community that brings together peer and provider organizations to make promising measurable changes to mental health service systems.
We disseminate resources to share information about mental health, youth peer support, recovery supports like supported education and medication management, and promote new ways of thinking about youth rights and voice in treatment services.
We deliver a variety of training and education opportunities, both virtually and in person to enhance youth program development.
We are able to provide training, technical assistance, and coaching support to anyone seeking to integrate or strengthen recovery-oriented services and supports. Our staff has a diversity of experience and skills and we look forward to supporting the growth of the youth peer and recovery movement. Click the button below to request TA.
