Peer recovery support services (PRSS) are increasingly being offered across diverse criminal justice settings to address opioid and stimulant misuse and achieve positive outcomes. The power and potential of PRSS come from the unique roles that peers play, promoting both hope and pragmatic steps for change. As peer practitioners move into a variety of roles in the criminal justice system, programs need to carefully plan and prepare to integrate peer supports into their portfolio of services. This preparation should include the consideration of recovery planning, and organizations’ ability to promote a system of self-care and sustained recovery.
This session for peer workers and peer program supervisors:
• Explored recovery planning as a strengths-based, self-directed process.
• Defined recovery capital and identify its significance to sustained recovery.
• Identified goal-setting tools to use while supporting people in recovery in varied contexts.
