Act With Hope: Engagement Anywhere

Telehealth has expanded access to recovery support like never before — but how do we ensure peer recovery support specialists (PRSSs) are fully integrated and supported in these virtual spaces? This webinar will explore effective strategies for embedding PRSSs in telehealth environments, fostering strong collaboration with clinical team members and creating collaborative virtual workplaces.

Learning Objectives:

• Explore techniques to foster strong, trauma-informed communication and teamwork between PRSSs and clinical staff in virtual environments.
• Discuss common challenges PRSSs face in virtual settings, and identify policies and practices that ensure a supportive and welcoming virtual work environment.
• Identify strategies to prevent burnout and promote self-care among PRSSs.

Speakers: 

• Pablo Hurtado, DSW, LMSW, Mobile Counseling of New York
• Meghan Hetfield, PRSS, CRPA, Harm Reduction Works-HRW
