Peer Specialist Supervision Basics: Part 2

Peer Supervision is a collaborative activity between a supervisor and a worker in which the supervisor provides guidance and support to the worker to promote competent and ethical delivery of services. Supervision also supports the continued development of the worker’s application of accepted professional peer work knowledge, skills and values. Supervision should be a priority for early-career peer workers and is an investment that benefits employees, employers and service recipients. It is important that supervision is accessible and happens (SAMHSA, BRSS-TACS, 2022).
