About this Event: 

Model Standard 11, What is Supervision? Discussions around peer supervision can be especially confusing because of the different backgrounds and lived experience of peer support stakeholders. 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 larger 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.

At the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Define what “supervision” means according to Standard 11.
• List and describe the five Pillars of Peer Support Supervision.
• Explain how other model standards (especially including 2, 4, 8, and 9) are incorporated into this standard.
