This intensive is designed for substance use disorder treatment clinicians who want to unlock the full therapeutic potential of the people around them — colleagues, peers with lived recovery experience, and certified peer support specialists. Clinical peer support is not a soft supplement to evidence-based treatment. It is an evidence-based intervention in its own right — one that reaches clients in ways that clinical training alone cannot, and one that sustains clinicians in ways that individual effort alone will not. This intensive covers what clinical peer support is, how to build genuinely collaborative clinical relationships with colleagues, how to integrate the wisdom of lived experience into a clinical model that respects both expertise and story, how to create treatment environments where collaboration produces outcomes that neither peer nor clinician could achieve alone, and how to identify and dismantle the professional barriers that prevent clinical teams from using their most powerful collective resource: each other.
