Description

As peer professionals supporting individuals with substance use and/ or mental health challenges, adhering to our principles ensures we maintain a person-driven approach, keeping the individual at the center of their own recovery process. In addition, viewing recovery as a holistic endeavor is essential to participants’ wellbeing. SAMHSA’s Eight Dimensions of Wellness can guide us as we support individuals in the creation of their personal wellness plan. With this multidimensional plan and perspective, many other professionals come into the fold, making collaboration essential to our role. How can peer professionals be successful in best serving and advocating for our recoverees amidst a multidisciplinary team that does not speak the same language nor have the same lived/living experience? This workshop will provide key concepts and strategies to implement a recovery oriented approach in working with others so peer professionals can easily collaborate with other providers from diverse treatment teams.
