A CERTIFIED PEER RECOVERY SPECIALIST …is a specially trained PROFESSIONAL!!!

PEER RECOVERY SPECIALIST: Do these things: practice guidelines, have a code of ethics and utilize core skills just as every professional.

Certified Peer Recovery Specialist -IT’S AN IMPORTANT ROLE! “A health-trained peer practitioner is described as a natural ally, and someone who has walked “in the same shoes” as the individual seeking help. Peer perspectives can provide momentum to an individual toward his/her self-management and health activation. Sharing lived experiences and a strengths-based approach can foster support and motivate an individual towards health, wellness, and resiliency.” http://www.pillarsofpeersupport.org/

HOW DOES A PEER RECOVERY SPECIALIST HELP INDIVIDUALS? A Peer Recovery Specialist will encourage and coach those they support to help them decide what they want in life and how to appropriately achieve it without judgment.

PEER RECOVERY SUPPORT SPECIALIST Models that Recovery is possible Is able to relate to someone else who has had similar experiences. May be able to talk “their” talk instead of “professional” talk Demonstrates by words, actions and attitudes that Recovery is possible Constantly works at their own recovery growth Challenging themselves to check their own recovery progress so that they may improve their ability to serve others

PEER SUPPORT IS AN IMPORTANT ROLE Peer supporters demonstrate that recovery is REAL! By authentically living recovery, peer supporters inspire real hope that recovery is possible for others

PEER RECOVERY SUPPORT IS: An intentional relationship between two people who share a similar experience. Uses mutuality to overcome the negative effects of either primary experience: Mental Health or Substance Abuse. Is an equal, non-subordinate relationship. Requires a skill set that encompasses coaching, motivational techniques, intentional choices and “change agent” skills.
