Program Description

Self-Care: An Essential Practice for Peer Recovery Specialists (& Other Helping Professionals)

Self-care is an essential component to maintaining and sustaining recovery and wellness. As peer recovery specialists, committing to our own ongoing practice of self- care becomes an essential tool for our professional work in the field of behavioral health.

Through self-care practice we can cultivate a person-centered and strengths- based approach to recovery and wellness as well as a foundation for handling the many challenges of life and work in recovery.

This foundation also supports creating a recovery positive environment — as peers practicing self-care, we become role models and mentors for recovery and wellness as a way of life for our communities and those we serve.

In this educational and experiential training, we will explore:

  • What self-care is and why it is an essential practice for peer recovery specialists

  • Challenges to self-care related to serving in peer recovery roles

  • Red flags and warnings signs that self-care is at risk

  • How self-care practice applies to all of the peer recovery domains including

    advocacy, mentoring and eduction, recovery and wellness, and ethics

  • A holistic approach to recovery and wellness focused on body, mind, emotion and spirit

  • Self-care tools that support self-awareness, balance and well-being including

    experiential practices such as meditation & mindfulness, yoga, journaling and other tools that can be utilized personally or with the peers and communities we serve

  • Different ways to develop and work with a self-care plan as well as integrate enhanced self-care practice into an existing recovery and wellness plans
