Incorporating Peer Support into Substance Use Disorder Treatment
Peer support is an invaluable asset for patients struggling with Substance Use Disorder (SUD). Through provision of and networking to peer support services, health center staff provide patients with the social and emotional foundation which empowers their recovery and acts as a critical support during the mental, emotional and physical toll of recovery from SUD.
In this learning collaborative, join Dr. Kevin Lombardi MD, MPH, Ms. Fide Pineda Sandoval CHES, and the NCHPH Department of Research as we present an interactive review of the latest promising practices, clinical interventions and social services support recommended for individuals suffering with SUD. Material will balance the clinical primary care and associated social services realms, including those directly relevant to program managers, community health workers, social workers and nurses.
