Peer Specialist
The Black Peer Perspective
Staten Island, New York
Drew Musa is a NYC based Peer Specialist working with young adults living and thriving with varying mental health diagnoses. Diagnosed with schizophrenia at 21 years, he was fortunate to find support at OnTrack New York Washington Heights clinic where he had his first interaction with a peer specialist as part of his comprehensive care team. This interaction was key in inspiring Drew to seek his own peer specialist training with Howie the Harp Advocacy Center. Drew has particularly enjoyed working with young adults and colleagues from marginalized backgrounds and examining the intersections of being Black while seeking, receiving and providing mental health care. He is also producer and co-host of the Black Peer Perspective Podcast - a weekly educational podcast focusing on the unique experiences of Black peers, consumers and other stakeholders in the mental health field.
