This training takes a comprehensive look into ethical codes of conduct and their role in peer support services and clinical settings. Boundaries may become blurred when working with people living with addiction and mental health conditions. Participants will apply a self-assessment process to discover their own personal boundaries and how these boundaries may affect their work and their life. Participants will be able to describe terms that apply to delivering ethical peer recovery support services, identify how values, morals, and boundaries apply to ethical peer recovery support delivery; apply a process for ethical decision making; and recognize the need for organizational framework that is supportive and appropriate for ethical peer recovery support service delivery.
