Webinar - Peer Supervision: National Model Standards for Peer Support Certification Model Standard 11, What is Supervision? (Third Session)
2024-08-12 13:00 - 14:30 (America/New_York) | WEBINAR – online
The “National Model Standards for Peer Support Certification” is the first substantive document on peer support published by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration since the 2015 landmark publication of “SAMHSA’s Core Competencies for Peer Workers in Behavioral Health Services.” Much has changed (as evidenced by the depth and breadth of the content areas packed into the 35 Standards pages), and all but one state now has state-run or state-endorsed peer certification programs.

For the third session, facilitators will discuss Standard 11: Peer Supervision. Model Standard 11, What is Supervision? Discussions around peer supervision can be incredibly confusing because of peer support stakeholders’ different backgrounds and lived experiences. In this deep dive into Standard 11 of “The National Model Standards for Peer Support Certification,” we will share basic definitions of the terminology used in this model standard and how that language fits into the more significant concepts addressed directly and indirectly in this standard, including ensuring that the emerging profession of peer support thrives as part of the continuum of care in behavioral health without eliminating the unique characteristics of peer support, such as the active use of lived experience, that are essential to its success.
At the end of Session 3, participants will be able to:

Define what “supervision” means according to Standard 11.

List and describe the five Pillars of Peer Support Supervision.

Explain how other model standards (including 2, 4, 8, and 9) are incorporated into this standard.

NATIONAL FENTANYL AWARENESS DAY
2025-04-29
WHAT IS NATIONAL FENTANYL AWARENESS DAY?
“National Fentanyl Awareness Day—now in its fourth year—unites major corporations, community groups, nonprofits, government agencies, schools, campuses and families to take action to protect young lives from deadly fentanyl and fake prescription pills.
While recent data shows progress in reducing overdose deaths from record highs, nearly half of teens still don’t know that counterfeit prescription pills often contain lethal amounts of fentanyl. This lack of knowledge is leading to tragic consequences—young people are dying simply because they didn’t know the pill they took was fake. That’s why we need to turn awareness into action.” – National Fentanyl Awareness Day
