A Strategic Investment for Behavioral Health Organizations

For agencies across Nevada, integrating Family Peer Support into the service array is a powerful way to enhance engagement, strengthen outcomes, and demonstrate commitment to family‑driven care. Under Nevada Medicaid, Family Peer Support Specialists must be affiliated with a health care or behavioral health provider agency, an independently licensed mental health professional, or a Peer Support Services Agencies.

Family‑Run Organizations (FROs) are led by parents and caregivers with lived experience navigating children’s behavioral health systems. Because their work is grounded in that firsthand perspective, FROs are uniquely equipped to deliver authentic, effective Family Peer Support. FRO’s that meet requirements under Nevada Medicaid may enroll as a Peer Support Services Agency.

Family Peer Support Specialist:

• Improve follow‑through with appointments and recommendations
• Increase family satisfaction and trust in services
• Reduce provider time spent on system navigation tasks
• Strengthen partnerships for successful child and family teams
• Support successful transitions between service levels
• Contribute to more coordinated, holistic care

Family Peer Support is not only an evidence‑based practice—it is a strategic workforce component that adds value, expands capacity, and enhances the quality of behavioral health services.

Rooted in the value of family voice and lived experience, FPSNN provides dynamic training, technical assistance, and support that empowers Family Peer Support Specialists (FPSSs) and Supervisors to serve Nevada families with confidence, purpose, and authenticity.
