The PULSE Program
The PULSE Program by Youth MOVE PA is designed to foster wellness and resiliency among youth and young adults through a recovery-oriented approach, led by a team of certified peer professionals. Each team includes peers with lived experience in child- and adult-serving systems, ensuring support that is both comprehensive and deeply empathetic.
Person-Centered Support
PULSE uses a youth- and young-adult driven model where participants’ goals, strengths, and lived experiences guide the work. Certified Peer Professionals provide relatable, real-world support that meets young people where they are.
Evidence-Informed Peer Services
Peer support is widely recognized around the world as a key component of recovery for people experiencing mental health challenges. Studies show that increased involvement with peer specialists is associated with reduced psychiatric symptoms and stronger long-term recovery.
Tools for Transition & Recovery
Through PULSE, youth and young adults gain tools and resources to navigate the transition into adulthood. The team-based approach offers guidance, emotional support, and practical assistance to help participants achieve recovery-focused, self-defined outcomes.
