Ethical Dialogue:  Navigating the Unique Peer Relationship – Important Discussion for Supervisors

November 1 and 1, 2023 | 9:00am-12:00pm

Presenter: Don Altemus, MS

Via Zoom (Social Work, CPRP and Continuing Education credits pending)

Certified Peer Specialists and Certified Recovery Specialist begin their careers after completing the approved training and demonstrating their entry level knowledge by successfully passing the Pennsylvania Certification Board Exam. They are experts in their own journey of healing and recovery and simultaneously are beginning learners of the skills needed to navigate the complexities of professional relationships and ethical decision making. This workshop will highlight the ethics training Peer and Recovery Specialists receive, review the Peer Ethical code, and highlight navigation of challenges that they face that are different than non-peer staff. The goal of this workshop is to provide Peer and Recovery Specialist Supervisors, and other supervisors with interest in this topic, with tools to create supervision that promotes transparency from your peer staff and aids in professional development of staff which will foster meaningful relationships, retention and growth.
