Join us for the WV Recovers & WV Peer Recovery Training Center Collaborative “Ethics as a Peer Supervisor” Virtual Training on May 23rd, 2026, from 9 AM to 3:30 PM.

Peer supervisors often walk a delicate line—upholding mutuality and recovery values while navigating accountability, performance expectations, and system demands. In this session, participants will explore the ethical complexities unique to supervising peer workers, with a focus on maintaining boundaries, managing power dynamics, and fostering growth in a supportive and values-driven way.

Discover how the attitudes, skills, and values of peer support—such as mutuality, honoring lived experience, person-centered communication, empowerment, and hope—can guide ethical decision-making and strengthen supervision practices across behavioral health settings.

WV Recovers, WV NPRA and NAMI are excited to collaborate for a special Mental Health Awareness Month event focused on advocacy. NAMI Smarts for Advocacy is a skill-building training that helps people with lived experience turn their passion and lived experience into effective grassroots advocacy.

This interactive workshop engages participants in hands-on learning experiences designed to build and strengthen advocacy skills. Whether someone is new to advocacy or has years of experience, participants will leave with practical tools, messaging strategies, and step-by-step guidance to help them confidently advocate for change.

NAMI Smarts for Advocacy begins with its core skill: Telling Your Story. This module guides participants through developing and delivering a compelling version of their personal story that can serve as a foundation for issue advocacy and community impact.

Join us as we come together to strengthen voices, build confidence, and support meaningful change during Mental Health Awareness Month.
