Learn about the principles and key dimensions of recovery & wellness in the delivery of behavioral health and peer-based recovery support services. This training shares great insight, knowledge and the skills necessary for all agency staff working alongside and supervising Certified Peer Recovery Specialist's and will greatly assist in the start up and delivery of peer recovery support services.

"The Recovery-Oriented System of Care (ROSC) framework is one such approach for transforming behavioral health service systems. A ROSC is a framework for organizing and coordinating multiple services, supports and systems to deliver person-centered servicesand to adjust to support the person’s or family’s chosen pathway to recovery (Kaplan, 2008). A system that supports person- centered, self-directed approaches to services, A ROSC builds on the strengths and resilience of individuals, families, and communities to take responsibility for their sustained health, wellness, and recovery. A ROSC offers a comprehensive menu of prevention, treatment, and support services that can be combined and readily adjusted to meet an individual’s needs. ROSC is timely and responsive, effective, equitable and efficient, safe and trustworthy, and maximizes use of natural supports and settings."

Why Focus on the Supervision of Peer Workers?

WEBSITE RESOURCE via SAMHSA 

Peer workers fill relatively new and unique roles in the behavioral health care system and supervisors may not understand peer support will enough to provide high quality supervision and the organization may not be aligned with recovery-oriented values
Leaders in peer-run/ recovery community organizations may not have experience with supervision and may not have organizational structures that support the activity of supervision
Providing supervision promotes good ethical practices
Supervisors play a key role in the successful integration of peer workers in the work place

Challenges to Supervising Peer Workers-for Non-Peer Supervisor

Supervisors may lack experience and working knowledge of peer practice

Supervisor may have a clinical approach to service provision
Lack of knowledge among non- peer staff about peer roles and practice
Organizations may not be aligned with recovery-oriented values, practices, and culture
Challenges in integrating peer workers and recovery values in a treatment setting
