Join the New York City Mayor's Office of Community Mental Health (OCMH), The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), and Families on the Move (FOTM) for a virtual training symposium titled Integrating and Supporting Peer Support Workers in Behavioral Health Settings. This training symposium will focus on promoting organizational culture change within New York City (NYC) contracted provider organizations and nonprofits that support and employ Peer Support Workers (PSWs), including Peer Specialists, Youth Peer Advocates, Family Peer Advocates, and Recovery Peer Advocates.

This event will explore best practices for hiring, disclosure, and successfully integrating and retaining PSWs into organizational and team structures. Our discussions will emphasize strategies and actionable practices that foster inclusion and the integration of people with lived experience in the workplace, creating a more diverse, inclusive, and effective workforce. 

This virtual training symposium will be held on March 26, 2024, from 10 am to 12 pm. Please read the attached flyer for more information and click the link to register.
