Hi, my name is Jessel. I
am a peer-mentor for M-POWER's peer-mentoring project.
I currently mentor a teenager who resides in an Intensive Residential Treatment
Program (IRTP), a residence for youth with mental illness. I also occasionally
write for CHANGE, M-POWER's newsletter. In addition I sit on the State Mental
Health Planning Council (SMHPC) and am co-chair of the Youth Development Committee
(a sub-committee of the SMHPC).
M-POWER has provided great support in assisting me do the work. They have
also provided a wonderful work environment!
