About this role
We are seeking a passionate and dedicated Peer Advocate to join our mental health services team in Long Beach, CA. This position is Part-Time afternoon (20 hours/week) Monday – Friday | 3:00 PM – 7:00 PM. This position is designed to provide peer-based support to individuals living with mental health challenges, co-occurring disorders, and/or histories of homelessness during high-need afternoon and evening hours.

Your unique perspective as someone with lived experience is the foundation of this position and a core part of our service model.
