A 6-hour training with Ginger Ross, BA, CRSW, NCPRSS & Bret Smith, CRSW, NCPRSS, CPS

January 18, 2023

8:30am-4:00pm

PRESENTATIONA peer worker is a person in recovery who has been trained to provide non-clinical, strengths-based support to people experiencing similar challenges. Peer workers offer direct social and emotional support, help forge connections to clinical care and community resources, and share hope that recovery is possible. Appropriate and adequate supervision is a critical factor in the success of peer roles. This course is an entry-level supervision course that outlines concepts critical to the success of the peer worker and the peer role in the agency. This course is designed specifically for CRSWs who will be supervising other peers or CRSWs in NH.

Upon completion of the event participants will be able to:

    • Describe the essential functions of supervisors
    • Understand the principles and practices of peer support services
    • Explore the application of recovery-oriented approaches to the supervision of peer workers
    • Learn two critical supervision skills
    • Access additional resources to improve your competence in supervising peer workers
