Peer Support Specialists Working Together with Allies

Empowerment is one of the essential tools used to promote an individual’s self-determination to engage and manage their challenges in the clinical system. However, peer specialists can make even more of an impact when other colleagues understand the important role a peer specialist can play in recovery. Learning how to communicate with other service providers will, in return, create solid allies that facilitate one’s wellness and recovery.

Learning Objectives: - Identify at least 3 strategies to connect with other peer support specialists. - Recognize at least 3 strategies to turn other staff into recovery allies. - Identify the role and value of peer support in promoting community wellbeing.
