Position Summary:
The Trauma Informed Peer Specialty (TIPS) program will blanket the City of Philadelphia with population health focused and trauma informed peer services. The Trauma Informed Peer Specialist position will work as part of a specialty workforce of Certified Peer Specialists, Certified Recovery Specialists, Community Autism Peer Specialists, Community Health Workers, and Certified Family Peer Support Specialists to address the growing needs of those in Philadelphia who have been impacted by multiple layers of trauma. This is a new model for reaching individuals in Philadelphia’s underserved communities and connecting them to appropriate resources and services. The connection and support provided in the highest at-risk neighborhoods would serve multiple purposes, including on the ground wellness support, connection to treatment, and inviting those with trauma lived experiences to become peers themselves, providing economic opportunity and further infusing their communities with this much-needed support. TIPS peers will be deployed to the most trauma impacted neighborhoods in Philadelphia, many of whom will have come from those impacted communities.
This position will be focused on communities in Philadelphia at risk of experiencing multiple incidents of trauma; specifically: (1) communities impacted by high rates of gun violence, and (2) immigrant and refugee communities. This position may work more than 50% out of the office and in various culturally diverse communities.

PMHCC, a not-for-profit organization, began as The Philadelphia Mental Health Care Corporation in 1987 for the City of Philadelphia in order to implement a major grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Program for Chronic Mental Illness. One of nine national grants, the funding was to assist the Philadelphia Office of Mental Health realize its vision for a unified mental health system to provide affordable housing, effective case management, and a broad range of psychosocial and vocational programs for people with mental illness. The objective included consolidating funding in a manage...d behavioral healthcare model. Over the years PMHCC's activities and responsibilities have broadened so that PMHCC serves as a major human services systems management company in support of several City of Philadelphia departments, while maintaining its core commitment to public behavioral health programs.
