Equipping Behavioral Health Systems & Authorities to Promote Peer Specialist/Peer Recovery Coaching Services
Through the Bringing Recovery Supports to Scale Technical Assistance Center Strategy (BRSS TACS) project, SAMHSA convened an Expert Panel on March 21 – 22, 2012, to learn more about the needs of behavioral health systems and authorities as they strive to promote and support peer services, and to strategize innovative responses to those needs. Specifically, the Expert Panel members worked to:
- Understand current practices, implementation strategies, and contexts for peer specialists/peer recovery coaches
- Identify innovative workforce development activities and summarize workforce development needs to implement peer specialist/peer recovery coaching services
- Develop specific recommendations for behavioral health systems and authorities as they seek to support and implement peer specialists/peer recovery coaches across a diverse range of settings
