Peer Liaison Program

The purpose of the Participant Liaison is to assist in the development of a voice of participants who use the CMHA Studios and the IHA Mental Health & Substance Use services. The volunteer coordinator in this position will provide information, resources and supports for fellow participants.

The Participant Liaison is the chairperson for the Participant Advisory Council. The Participant Advisory Council meets four times a year with a two-fold purpose:

• To facilitate communication between participants and CMHA Studio staff.
• To develop a standards council / code of ethics for the CMHA Shuswap – Revelstoke Branch.

The Participant Liaison also looks after the Group Funding-program. This program allocates funds to CMHA Studio groups to promote participants’ self-development and wellness.
