About Dominque Christian, Key Partner, LEEC
Dominique serves as a Certified Peer Support Specialist/Trainer, supporting people with mental health challenges, psychological trauma, and substance use through AYA Advocacy Group. I am a Social Worker. Christian graduated with a Masters degree from the University of Wisconsin- Madison. Lastly, she serves as a Housing Program Manager at The Road Home Dane County, overseeing staff who supports families experiencing chronic and literal homelessness. Being a CPS allows her to support others through their recovery journey through the encouragement of self-direction and autonomy in their choices. She finds that the greatest part of being a CPS is that she advocates for systemic and policy change at all system levels through teaching an approach that humanizes adverse experiences, trauma, and individualized coping mechanisms. In this work, she appreciates the freedom to choose herself every time, and every day, she is reminded that she is far greater than her troubles. The work is rewarding because it sees her not for what she has been through but for who she’s becoming. As a CPS trainer, her story is her candle; when she trains people, she uses her candle to ignite their flame.
