Who Is This For?
This toolkit is purpose-built for professionals directly responsible for designing, managing, or sustaining peer support functions within behavioural health, addiction recovery, mental health, and community care settings. Specific roles include: peer support programme managers, recovery services coordinators, behavioural health directors, clinical supervisors of peer specialists, addiction treatment leads, mental health team leads, and peer specialist trainers. It is also used by nonprofit executive directors, healthcare compliance officers, and government health administrators overseeing peer workforce integration.
Are you risking non-compliance, ethical breaches, or inconsistent recovery outcomes because your certified peer support specialists lack a structured, evidence-based framework to operate within? Without a formalised system aligned with national standards, your organisation faces regulatory scrutiny, diminished client trust, weakened team cohesion, and potential funding loss. The Certified Peer Support Specialist Toolkit is the definitive, comprehensive resource that equips your team to implement, govern, and sustain peer support roles with clinical integrity, operational precision, and full alignment to SAMHSA’s Core Competencies for Peer Workers and national certification requirements.
