In recognition of National Recovery Month, the Southeast Mental Health Technology Transfer Center hosted a panel discussion featuring Certified Peer Specialists providing Peer Support to individuals in dual recovery (from substance use and mental health concerns) at Recovery Community Organizations and Respite Centers. Panelists discussed the challenges and opportunities that present themselves when the focus is on the whole person, and not a primary diagnosis; the resources that are needed to build and maintain a successful community-based dual recovery program; and how communities and behavioral health providers benefit from the programs.
