Office hours for peer supervisors and program administrators

Are you thinking of starting a new peer support program in your agency? Do you already have peer services but need technical assistance or professional guidance related to peer support best practices and supervision?

Join Shelly Shor, Operationalizing peer support (OPS) Program Manager, for a weekly, virtual, knowledge-sharing call for Peer program administrators and others who supervise peer support professionals. Shelly will answer questions you might have about the implementation of peer support in your organization and refer you to a subject matter expert according to your needs.

You are welcome to join Shelly every week on Monday 1-2 p.m. (Pacific time) for a drop-in hour (no pre-registration needed) delivered over Microsoft Teams. Callers are welcome to stay for the full hour or until their specific questions are answered.

Office hours are provided by the Healthcare Authority Peer Support Program as a service and an asset to organizations who employ or wish to employ peers in Washington state.
