What Is Peer Support?

This webinar provides an in-depth exploration of peer support as a service and a profession. It will clarify what peer support entails and what it does not. The goal is to help certified peer support specialists better understand their role and that of other professionals in the behavioral health field.

• Define peer support as a professional service, including its core principles and competencies.
• Identify what peer support is not, including tasks and roles that fall outside the peer support scope of practice.
• Apply peer support principles—such as mutuality, voluntary participation, and strength-based support—in real-world, meaningful ways.
