Natalia Muñoz and Ash Wheeler share insights about youth peer support and mentorship with host Rowan Willis-Gorman. Mentorship is ingrained in most peer spaces, but is uniquely important in youth and near-age peer support, existing in the relationships between youth peer workers and the youth they serve and between youth peer workers as they develop their careers and hone their practice. This episode is part of a series featuring youth peer workers and recovery innovators discussing how to improve and uplift behavioral health systems for youth.
