Our Team

We began working together several years ago with a shared interest in using research to understand how to better support young people experiencing homelessness through peer support.

​

We are a participatory action research team composed of community-based researchers who worked with young people experiencing homelessness through the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless (including peer support specialists, a peer supervisor and a peer program administrator) as well as university-based researchers from the University of Denver Graduate School of Social Work who conduct research on the needs and resiliencies of young people experiencing homelessness.
