Emily Privatsky PWS
Project Coordinator
Emily Privatsky was drawn to peer support through encountering the Peer Movement 10 years ago, and she deeply believes that everyone can recover. As an empathetic person, Emily has always had a passion for helping others which she initially thought was through the path of Nursing. After working in the medical field for many years, Emily found that supporting others in their self-defined recovery journey was not in the medical field but through peer support. Emily uses her lived experience to help guide her in her role as Project Coordinator for Peerlink National Technical Assistance Center providing training, organizational development, and technical assistance for SAMHSA regions 9 & 10.
