Ethical Consideration in Peer-Assisted Recovery

Course overview

Emphasis is placed on understanding the similarities and differences between values, norms, principles, morals, and ethics, as well as learning how to make ethical decisions. Other areas explored include understanding the ethical standards for the delivery of peer recovery services in a peer's jurisdiction, as well as the possibility of differing ethical standards depending on the location of service delivery, including federally qualified health centers, jails and prisons, hospitals and emergency settings, recovery community organizations, and others. The training features presentations, exercises, and experiential learning techniques. The curriculum development was funded in part by Kennebunk Savings Bank through a grant awarded to SOS Recovery Community Organization.
