Certified Peer Support Specialist
1 day ago
The ACT TAY Peer Support Specialist works to increase client participation in their treatment and accessing of peer-oriented support systems. Peer support services are defined as face-to-face interventions in the client's natural environment, or group environment, which focus on recovery and rehabilitation. Peer support specialists promote skills for coping with and managing symptoms of mental health diagnoses while encouraging the use of natural resources and enhancing community living. They serve as a model, support, and resource for the team members and those being served. Peer Support Specialists work as part of a multi-disciplinary treatment team in developing and implementing treatment plan goals. Peer Support Specialists take the lead role on the treatment team in assisting clients to develop Wellness Recovery Action Plans. Peer Support Specialists are a unique member of the treatment team in that they share their personal experiences in recovery relative to mental health diagnoses. They will provide services to individuals impacted by a variety of behavioral health (addiction/substance abuse and mental health) issues, recognizing that the individuals we serve often times have experienced trauma that affects their development and adjustment. They will demonstrate a warm and welcoming, empathic, hopeful attitude, while conveying a philosophy of dual recovery. They will be trained in trauma-informed care and will work to help provide services in an environment that is sensitive and responsive, which will prevent victimization, abuse, or trauma as a result of the care received.
