Veterans' Peer Support Committee (VPSC)
A specialized action sub-committee of the Montana's Peer Network
Thank you for your interest in serving on the Veterans' Peer Support Committee (VPSC), 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 with a mission to lead the expansion and development of recovery-oriented behavioral health services across Montana. VPSC's purpose is to support MPN's mission through targeted systems-change advocacy for the collaborative implementation of Peer Support programming and service availability for all veterans. Our goal is to advance the integration and implementation of veterans' peer support programs and services across Montana, serving as an advocacy and advisory vessel for the education, training, development, implementation, and integration of a specialized Veterans' Peer Support workforce across the state.
VPSC members must be veterans in stable recovery, and either currently licensed and working as a peer support specialist (CBHPSS) or pursuing MT CBHPSS licensure.
Applications are reviewed by the VPSC chairperson and the MPN Board of Directors to authorize a committee member vote. Committee recommendation for appointment is determined by a majority quorum vote of existing VPSC members. Committee vote results are provided to the MPN Board of Directors for final appointment approval.
The acting VPSC 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.
VPSC 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. Attendance and active participation in committee meetings and communications during the application process is strongly encouraged to demonstrate interest and dedication to VPSC's activities and efforts.
