SUMMARY:Webinar - Peer Supervision: National Model Standards for Peer Support Certification Model Standard 11\, What is Supervision? (Third Session)
DESCRIPTION:The “National Model Standards for Peer Support Certification” is the first substantive document on peer support published by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration since the 2015 landmark publication of “SAMHSA’s Core Competencies for Peer Workers in Behavioral Health Services.” Much has changed (as evidenced by the depth and breadth of the content areas packed into the 35 Standards pages)\, and all but one state now has state-run or state-endorsed peer certification programs.\n\n\nFor the third session\, facilitators will discuss Standard 11: Peer Supervision. Model Standard 11\, What is Supervision? Discussions around peer supervision can be incredibly confusing because of peer support stakeholders’ different backgrounds and lived experiences. In this deep dive into Standard 11 of “The National Model Standards for Peer Support Certification\,” we will share basic definitions of the terminology used in this model standard and how that language fits into the more significant concepts addressed directly and indirectly in this standard\, including ensuring that the emerging profession of peer support thrives as part of the continuum of care in behavioral health without eliminating the unique characteristics of peer support\, such as the active use of lived experience\, that are essential to its success. \nAt the end of Session 3\, participants will be able to: \n\nDefine what “supervision” means according to Standard 11.\n\n\nList and describe the five Pillars of Peer Support Supervision.\n\n\nExplain how other model standards (including 2\, 4\, 8\, and 9) are incorporated into this standard.\n\nUse the website link below to register for this series’s third and remaining webinar\, or Register for Session 3 here.
