Family Peer Advisory Committee
A specialized action sub-committee of the Montana's Peer Network
Thank you for your interest in serving on the Family Peer Advocacy Committee (FPAC), a specialized workforce action and advocacy committee organized and overseen by the Montana's Peer Network (MPN) Board of Directors. Montana’s Peer Network is a 501c3 non-profit corporation whose mission is to lead the expansion and development of recovery-oriented behavioral health services across Montana. FPAC's purpose, in support of MPN's mission, is targeted advocacy for the collaborative development and implementation of family and caregiver peer support programming and services. FPAC serves as an advocacy and advisory vessel focused on the education, training, program development and implementation, and state-wide integration of a specialized family and caregiver peer support workforce. Appointees must be MPN members who are parents or adult caregivers with lived experience and/or currently raising a child with behavioral health needs. Currently licensed peer support specialists who are parents or caregivers of a child with behavioral health needs are encouraged to apply, but state CBHPSS certification and licensure is not required for appointment to this committee at this time.
Applications are reviewed by the FPAC chairperson and the MPN Board of Directors to authorize an FPAC committee member vote. Committee recommendation for appointment is determined by a majority quorum vote of existing committee members. Committee vote results are provided to the MPN Board of Directors for final appointment approval.
The acting FPAC Chairperson, or other committee designee, will communicate with prospective members upon receipt of application and throughout the appointment process. Applicants will be notified of acceptance or denial and details of committee appointment upon final Board of Directors approval. FPAC meeting information is provided to prospective committee members after appointment applications are received. The MPN Board of Directors meet on the third Saturday of every month. Please anticipate a 2-3 month turn around time from the date of application. Attendance and active participation in committee meetings and communications during the application process is strongly encouraged to demonstrate interest and dedication to FPAC's activities and efforts.
