Originally presented on November 1, 2023 This 90-minute virtual session is designed to provide participants with an understanding of peer specialists, the value they add to organizations where they work, and best practices around implementing peer support services in traditional behavioral health settings. Participants will learn about the 5 Domains of Peer Services Implementation and use the core concepts of isolation, integration and co-optation to reflect on typical challenges related to peer integration.
