Supervisor's Guide to Peer Support is proudly presented to you by CEQ Santa Barbara County. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.
This workshop is focused on assisting supervisors and administrators who struggle with the supervision of peer staff. The course allows for space for the participants to discuss and problem-solve in-clinic challenges and HR concerns. It encourages administrators to create Peer Support Leadership roles that can foster more reciprocal learning environments. The course facilitator provides concrete examples of policies, role definitions, duty statements and procedural strategies to support that learning environment. This is a recovery-focused approach, that leans more on SAMHSA Guideline to Peer Support than on tradition HR disciplinary processes. It is a mentorship process for supervisors to be empowered to mentor and supervise, understanding the difference between being a person’s employer vs. being their therapist or social worker.
