Supervising Peer Recovery Support Professionals

ABOUT THIS EVENT

This 90-minute webinar aims to equip professionals in the mental health and addiction field with the skills needed to effectively supervise and support peer support specialists and other lived-experience professionals in behavioral health settings.
