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.
