• The Jayhawk Area Agency on Aging is seeking volunteers to be a part of its Peer-to-Peer Support Program (PSP). PSP is a 10-week mental health intervention that consists of pairing a volunteer (at least 55 years old) with a participant receiving Medicaid-HCBS/FE services. The pair will meet for a minimum of one hour for 10 weeks. During meetings, participants are encouraged and supported by volunteers to establish and work toward goals that participants feel would improve their mental health and well-being. Volunteers should have access to transportation, must pass a criminal background check and be able to commit one hour of time per week. Required training will last two to four hours depending on the needs of the group. Contact April Maddox at 785-235-1367 or amaddox@jhawkaaa.org.
