Understanding the Role of Peer Specialists presented by Tim Saubers.
In this session we’ll explore the role of peer specialists in existing systems including behavioral healthcare, carceral systems, historically marginalized communities, and more. We’ll also discuss the nuances between peer support provided by those who are certified and those who are not, and the benefits and drawbacks of both. Lastly, we’ll look at the history and values that undergird the provision of peer support services.
