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.
