Hosted by the Los Angeles Training Consortium
Peer Specialists are important members of the treatment team. They form close relationships in the caregiver’s or consumer’s home and community that can pose unique ethical and boundary challenges.
The California Department of Health Care Services has published Medi-Cal Code of Ethics for Peer Support Specialists, a set of ethical principles to guide these helping relationships. This course will teach effective methods for engaging and helping caregivers and consumers that follow this code of ethics for appropriate boundaries and behaviors in the Peer Specialist role on the treatment team. It will examine ethical and boundary challenges from the daily work of Peer Specialists and provide concrete guidelines for maintaining relationships with boundaries that protect, respect, and empower caregivers and consumers to meet their recovery and developmental goals.
