  As Peer Professionals we are often faced with situations where we support people with the experience of hearing voices. This training was designed around the concepts covered in the Montgomery County Hearing Voices Network Training – Understanding Voices through a Human Perspective. It also brings in concepts from the larger International Hearing Voices Movement and all involved in these efforts have been peers in this capacity – seeing, sensing, or hearing things others do not and other unusual beliefs or experiences. In this training we cover alternatives to traditional medical model treatment for hearing voices and ways Peer Professionals can best support.

  In this training we introduce attendees to the Pennsylvania Certification Board’s Codes of Ethical Conduct for Certified Peer Specialists, Certified Recovery Specialists, and Certified Family Recovery Specialists. We use the Codes of Conduct as our backdrop to frame discussion surrounding ethics related issues like fraud, waste, abuse, confidentiality, service approach, non-discrimination, integrity, etc.

  Additionally, this training covers setting and maintaining healthy boundaries with co-workers and the individuals served through real-life scenarios of potential ethical violations. Through this discussion participants learn to articulate their own beliefs and thoughts concerning these scenarios while being guided by the facilitators. The scenarios are framed from a learning perspective rather than a right/wrong one, in turn creating the space for participants to gain an understanding of their own ethical principles and values.

  In this training we will explore the importance of using person-first language and the need for having systems and communities that support recovery from behavioral health conditions. Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to define recovery, resiliency, and person-first language, as well as recognize the importance of being a recovery champion in their communities. Through the demonstration of person-centered language and class discussion, each participant will leave with the knowledge of how to use, and more importantly, verbalize the purpose and importance of utilizing person centered language and the inherent benefits to not only the recovery community, but our behavioral health system as a whole. We will also cover ways to promote recovery, resiliency, and person-first language in the communities that the participants serve to better facilitate a recovery-oriented system of care within provider organizations and beyond.

  The primary goal of this workshop is to aid Certified Peer Specialist and Certified Recovery Specialist Supervisors, and other clinical staff, in discovering ways to tailor their staff supervision in order bring out the best in their staff and create a cohesive team atmosphere. Through the use audio and visual technology, and existing sources on the topic, we will explore what works, and what doesn’t, when viewing supervision through a Peer Based lens. We will explore why proper supervision is a key component to successfully integrating peer based staff into organizations, while discussing strategies that supervisors can utilize within their organizations in making that integration a reality.

  This training is a supplement to, not a replacement for, the required, two-day supervision course offered through RI Consulting, the Institute for Recovery, or the Copeland Center.
