This training explores the unique role of peer supporters within interdisciplinary teams and strategies for collaborating effectively while maintaining the values and perspective of peer support. Attendees will examine ways to build professional credibility, communicate confidently with clinicians and other providers, advocate for participants without becoming defensive, and clearly explain the purpose and value of the peer role across different systems of care. The session will also address navigating workplace hierarchy, maintaining recovery-oriented approaches in medical and clinical environments, and using lived experience to strengthen team-based care and participant engagement. Through discussion and reflection, attendees will gain tools to support respectful collaboration, stronger professional relationships, and a more integrated peer voice. |
