The Georgia Mental Health Consumer Network is seeking a Forensic Peer Mentor to serve at the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) program in Bainbridge, Georgia.

This is more than a job β€” it’s an opportunity to use your lived experience to make a real impact.

We are looking for individuals in recovery from behavioral health challenges who also have lived experience in the criminal justice system. As a Forensic Peer Mentor, you will provide recovery-oriented peer support within the RSAT setting, helping participants build skills, strengthen self-advocacy, and prepare for successful community reentry.

✨ Full-time position (40 hours/week)
✨ 35 PTO days after 91 days
✨ Employer-paid benefits contributions
✨ $35 monthly cell phone stipend

If you are a Certified Peer Specialist (CPS-MH or CPS-AD) β€” and especially if you are a Certified Forensic Peer Mentor β€” we encourage you to apply. Applicants without certification may still be considered if eligibility requirements are met.

Peer support changes lives. Representation matters. Recovery is possible.

πŸ“ Position Location: Bainbridge, GA

Join us as we celebrate 18 years of the Decatur Peer Support & Wellness Center!

Since 2008, the Decatur PSWC has been a place of hope, healing, and connection. From launching our first Peer Support and Wellness Center to providing 24/7 support through the Peer2Peer Warm Line, this milestone reflects the power of peer-led services and community.

For 18 years, we have walked alongside individuals on their recovery journeys through holistic activities, respite stays, and compassionate support. This anniversary is not just about the years β€” it is about the lives touched, the connections built, and the community that continues to show up for one another.

What a powerful time of outreach with NALO Recovery Community Organization.

To witness the work being done in the recovery community is nothing short of inspiring. NALO is not just talking about change β€” they are actively creating it. Lives are being restored, hope is being reignited, and doors are being opened for people who once felt forgotten.

There was also an opportunity to share about the Forensic Peer Mentoring Program β€” highlighting how lived experience, accountability, and support can truly transform the reentry journey. Connecting the mission of forensic peer mentoring with the incredible work NALO is already leading made the moment even more meaningful.

It is an honor to stand alongside an organization that is truly making a difference. Big things are happening, and the ripple effect of this work will reach farther than we can even see.

Join us in congratulating our CEO, James Todd, Jr., on being crowned King of the 22nd Annual Mardi Gras Benefit Ball! πŸ‘‘βœ¨

This honor, was presented by the Georgia Parent Support Network (GPSN), in recognition of James’s leadership and his heart for uplifting families and commitment to advancing mental health in our state. We were also thrilled to see him share this special moment with the incredible Queen Cynthia Wainscott.

James reminded us all what true leadership looks like:

"To be chosen as King is not simply an honor; it is a call to service. A reminder that leadership is not measured by the crown on one’s head, but by the compassion and service one shares with others."

James, your GMHCN family is so proud of the impact you make every single day.

Today was more than an event. It was a movement.

Mental Health Day at the Capitol 2026 brought together hundreds of peers, advocates, community partners, providers, and state agencies from across Georgia who stood united for one purpose β€” advancing mental health, recovery, and equitable access to care for all.

From powerful stories of lived experience to meaningful conversations with policymakers, the day reflected what is possible when we come together with shared vision and collective voice. We were also honored to have supporters joining us virtually, ensuring that advocacy and awareness reached beyond the walls of the Capitol.

To every volunteer who arrived early, every partner who showed up in solidarity, every sponsor who invested in this mission, and every peer who bravely shared their story β€” thank you. Your presence matters. Your voice matters. And your advocacy moves Georgia forward.

At BHSC and GMHCN, we believe real change happens when we stand together β€” not just for a day, but every day.

The work continues. The momentum is real. And together, we are building a stronger behavioral health system for Georgia.
