Amber Rivers’ trajectory that connected her to work in the mental health area was formed at an early age, due to traumatic abuse. She deals with past trauma with support from peers, mental health professionals, and self-determination. Working as a Peer supervisor has been a highlight of her career. She started with Community Access as a Peer Bridger and was later promoted to Howie the Harp Assistant Program Director and then Director. The best part of her job is leading a team of fellow peers.
