Our Team
Beth Ayers-Executive Director
Beth was born and raised in Billings, MT. She moved to Park City, MT in 2024 with her husband Rex, son Trent, and cat CeCe. She also has a daughter Cassidy who lives in Washington state. She enjoys walking to the river, eating family dinner and playing board games with her mom, Rex, and Trent every Sunday, watching Blue Bloods, drinking a hot cup of coffee, going to the gym, traveling, attending church, and being with friends.
Raising a child with behavioral health challenges has humbled Beth, strengthened her faith, and taught her to love more deeply. It has given her a greater acceptance and understanding of others, especially those different from herself. The road has not been easy, but the fight has been worth it. It has ignited a passion for behavioral health advocacy and Family Peer Support.
Beth has been working in the field of Family Peer Support since 2017 and contributed to the creation of Certified Family Peer Support in Montana with the passing of HB 76 in 2025. She is excited to lead Family Peers for Hope as they work to strengthen the Family Peer Support workforce, support and empower families, build networks and communities, and advocate for change.
Kayla Myers-Community Engagement Coordinator
Kayla was raised in Northern Nevada, though her heart is closely tied to Montana, where she spent summers and Christmas holidays with family after her parents moved to pursue their teaching careers. She was able to create lasting memories and a strong sense of connection to her roots with every visit to Montana. She is a devoted mom of two boys, a proud bonus to a little girl, and in a long-standing relationship with Mitch. She brings powerful lived experience as a parent of a child with developmental disabilities, while also navigating her own late-in-life diagnosis and ongoing mental health recovery.
Her journey has been filled with uncertainty, fear, and moments of feeling overwhelmed and alone. She knows what it’s like to watch your child struggle without knowing where to turn and how isolating that can be. These experiences have shaped her into a compassionate, empathetic advocate who offers emotional support to families facing similar challenges.
Through research, persistence, and a deep commitment to her son Bryce’s growth, Kayla has learned to be an empowered, informed parent and now helps others do the same. Becoming a Family Peer Supporter has been transformative, allowing her to find healing through connection and advocacy.
Kayla played a vital role in the certification of Family Peer Support in Montana, served on the Family Peer Support Task Force, and continues to serve as an active member of the BHAC Youth and Family Sub-Committee.
Open-minded, passionate, and grounded, Kayla is committed to making a difference, one family at a time. She’s grateful to use both Bryce’s journey and her own healing to inspire hope and resilience in others.
