Working as a Peer Specialist can be rewarding, and for many like a dream come true. Having the opportunity to help others in recovery from behavioral health and SUD diagnosis can also be challenging for peer support specialists, given that they are working on their own recovery at the same time.

This virtual course will provide information about your role as a peer support specialist, how to partner with the consumers you work with as well as your clinical team. The workshop will create space to review and practice tools and strategies that peers can use with people seeking help while attending this workshop. Other areas of focus will include crisis intervention and helping those who may not want help. Telling your recovery story is an expectation of your job, and knowing when and how to disclose can be challenging. Self-disclosure and other ethical considerations will be reviewed.

Target Audience: Peers and peer supervisors/managers

Objectives:

  • List three things a peer specialist does in their role.
  • Define the importance of self-care and setting boundaries to prevent burnout.
  • Identify the three C's when helping a consumer work on negative self-talks.
  • Describe the steps to take when those you help are in crisis.
