Early psychosis teams are increasingly integrating Peer Support, but these teams often have limited understanding of the role and how it is fundamentally different from clinical roles. This webinar will explore Peer Support as a critical discipline within early psychosis teams. Presenters will review the unique history and role of the Peer Support profession, and how it differs in perspective and role from clinical perspectives. The webinar will discuss how agencies and early psychosis programs can most effectively integrate and support Peer Support Specialists. There will be a discussion of common questions and challenges, as well as resources for ongoing learning. This webinar is scheduled to run from 1:00pm - 2:30pm ET.
