NAMI Connects Peer Mentor
Join our NAMI Connects team! NAMI Connects Peer Mentors support adult peers admitted to one of the metro area’s Providence Emergency Departments (ED) for urgent psychiatric care, and their families. We are currently hiring for the Providence Willamette Falls Medical Center location in Oregon City. NAMI’s Peer Mentors give their time to assure that peers and their families feel heard, and understand that they are not alone. They develop a rapport with the peer and the peer’s family, by offering a listening ear, empathy, their own personal story, and information about NAMI Multnomah programs.

Family Partner
Come join our team of Family Partners! Family Partners support families in Multnomah County who are participating in Wraparound Services and/or YICC (Youth Intensive Care Coordination). Family Partners support and walk alongside these families to optimize the mental health services their child receives. A key feature of this position is that Family Partners have lived experience as a parent or primary caregiver (an unpaid individual who provides day-to-day care for a youth on an ongoing basis) of a child/youth with mental health, emotional, or behavioral health difficulties. Family Partners use this lived experience, along with knowledge of social service systems (e.g., mental health, developmental disabilities, child welfare, juvenile justice), to support other families.

Peer Support Specialist - Crisis response
Come join our amazing team of Peer Support Specialists! We are recruiting two Peer Support Specialists (PSS) to work together in high-intensity support roles providing street outreach to peers in the areas surrounding Multnomah County’s Pathway Deflection Center and the BHRC (Behavioral Health Resource Center). The individuals supported by these roles are part of a vulnerable population, including those who are houseless, navigating addiction or mental health conditions, and possibly having recent interactions with law enforcement. PSS walk alongside peers to identify needs and connect them with community resources. A key feature of this position is that each PSS has their own lived experience with mental or behavioral health difficulties and is in stable recovery.
