What will the job look like?
The Youth Mental Health Advocate is responsible for providing trauma-informed mental health supports to Peoria youth age 10-24 and their families. This individual works closely with the rest of Goodwill’s Youth Services team, as well as many partner agencies, to coordinate and deliver a range of services, including screening, assessment, psychoeducation, therapeutic supports, and service and resource navigation to youth in need. As this is a new program, candidates will have the opportunity to work with Goodwill leadership on program development and design. There will also be opportunities to educate families and community members on trauma and mental health.
Some job duties will take place at our Goodwill Commons facility, while many other activities will occur at our school and agency partner sites. While they report to and work closely with their department’s Program Manager, the Youth Mental Health Advocate often must perform their job duties autonomously and be able to make educated, ethical decisions regarding programs and participants while away from leadership.
Experience with high-risk youth and adolescents, trauma-informed care, and/or community-based mental health programs is a plus. Goodwill will provide additional professional development and training on specific tools and interventions used in the program.
