Learning Community for Supervisors of Peer Workers

SAMHSA: Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration

Calling all supervisors committed to strengthening the peer workforce by learning and mastering the supervision and integration of peer workers.

WHAT:
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) Bringing Recovery Supports to Scale Technical Assistance Center Strategy (BRSS TACS) is pleased to announce A Learning Community to Improve the  Supervision of Peer Workers.

WHO:
This learning community is open to supervisors of peer workers who want to learn, strengthen, and apply core competencies related to their position. If you have experience working in a peer role and currently supervise other peer workers, we encourage you to apply.

WHEN, WHERE, HOW:
The learning community will meet virtually for 3 months, from April 2020 through July 2020. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from plenary sessions led by national leaders in the field of peer support services and participate in online discussions with supervisors from across the country. Each participant will concentrate on developing a supervisory implementation plan for their organization during workgroup sessions.

The BRSS TACS team will host the virtual sessions on Monday afternoons from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. ET. Participants will learn in small workgroups that expert faculty members will facilitate. Workgroups will meet during weeks without scheduled plenaries.

Please note that SAMHSA encourages learning community members to attend all plenary and workgroup sessions to maintain consistent contact with stakeholders.

WHY:
The learning community has the following four educational objectives:
  • Learn and begin to master skills of supervision
  • Increase understanding of the varieties of peer support practices
  • Acquire practical tools that promote peer support integration in the organization
  • Connect with others who have similar goals and challenges
