From Self-Determination to Systems Change: Promoting Youth Leadership Through Enhancements at the Provider, Team, and Agency Levels
Maria Hermsen was born and raised in southeast Wisconsin and is always pleased to be back among people who don’t look at her funny when she asks where the bubbler is. She is a senior research assistant at the Research and Training Center for Pathways to Positive Futures at Portland State University in Portland, Oregon, where she primarily works on projects related to engaging and supporting young people with serious mental health conditions. Maria has several years of experience working directly with transition-aged youth and young adults as a peer support specialist and as a supervisor for youth peer support specialists in a drop-in center setting. She uses her lived experience in the mental health system to guide her work.
