Core Competencies: Peer Role
Building Blocks to Peer Success
The modules below go into depth about the many different aspects of a peer’s role. Portions of this training must be adapted for local conditions: navigating the health care system, confidentiality, the peer job descriptions and employee benefits. Several training programs use local provider panels to describe the services they offer. This needs to be supplemented with a discussion about how peers find out about other local resources. The confidentiality training modules should be supplemented with information about specific state laws. Job descriptions and benefits discussions should also reflect local conditions.
