A CYPS is trained to use their lived experience to help youth/young adults advocate for services and systems supports. A CYPS also work with youth/young adults to create and maintain positive peer interactions that promote wellness, resiliency and recovery. They promote youth-guided practices that focus on strengths as part of the solution and ensure that youth/young adults participate in all aspects of their care.
