Breakout Session - Workforce Strategies: The Value Proposition of Peers
11:45 AM - 12:30 PM
This session will review the importance of the peer position, an under-defined role that could help save patients and organizations to create a win-win scenario within behavioral healthcare.
Key Takeaways:

- Learn the benefits of professional peer methodology through trusted traction as we dive into further documentation by The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
- Save on operating costs by mitigating staffing shortages in behavioral health and public service systems with CMS inclusion.
