Summary of Main Ideas

back 2

  • This training provides information on the skills and knowledge that are foundational to peer support, regardless of one’s area of focus
  • A peer professional is a formal role where a person uses their "lived experience" of navigating recovery (including family recovery), “in addition to skills learned in formal training, to deliver strengths-based, person-centered services to promote a [person’s] recovery and resiliency.”
  • Texas peer professionals include many different areas of focus but this training will focus on four distinct peer professional roles in Texas: Certified Family Partners, Mental Health Peer Specialists, Recovery Support Peer Specialists, and Reentry Peer Specialists.
