Do you need help advocating for your mental health needs?
Please call the behavioral health advocate at 1.509.434.4951. They will advocate for, and speak on behalf of, you as qualified mental health consumers and your family. They will investigate your complaint/grievance, recommend solutions, and help you resolve whatever issue you may have regarding getting your mental health needs met.

Peer Support
​A certified peer support counselor is someone who has experienced mental illness first-hand or has experienced co-occurring disorders (a combination of mental health and substance use disorders), is grounded in their recovery, and has gone through specialized training and testing to earn their certification. Peer counselors are especially qualified to inspire hope and provide unique support to individuals receiving mental health services because they likely have been in similar situations and understand the experience of living with a mental illness. Peer counselors model recovery and resiliency in overcoming obstacles common to those who live with serious mental illness and help identify goals that promote recovery and resiliency.
Peer support services are available at:

• Catholic Community Services
• Children’s Center
• Children’s Home Society
• Columbia River Mental Health Services
• Family Solutions
