Peer Support Specialist Supervisor Training

Catalog description

The California Mental Health Services Authority (CalMHSA) Peer certification standards require that Peer certification program, such as the current Peer Mentor Certificate through San Jose City College, include a component on supervision connected to the certification process. SAMHSA-based Peer Support Specialist Supervision Training will include the administrative, educative and supportive functions of a peer supervisor, as well as essential functions of supervisors and a strengths-based supervision approach. This course will address ethics and boundary issues, integration of peer workers in the workplace, as well as selected competencies for peer supervisors.
