Name
H05 - Utilization of Peer Support in Modern Integrated Care
Description

This presentation will review case studies demonstrating the effectiveness of including peer support as part of the integrated care team in order to promote consumer driven series and increased engagement in long term recovery. The efforts in these cases have focused on early integration of peer services, changes in processes and workflows to support consumer needs first, and enhanced wraparound care planning. A case will be made that peer support services in collaboration with behavioral health, substance use treatment, primary care, and crisis services can lead to greater consumer engagement and more success in consumer’s long term wellness.
