Emphasis is placed on understanding the similarities and difference between values, norms, principles, morals and ethics as well as on 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 given the location of service delivery including federally qualified health centers, jails/prisons, hospitals/emergency settings, recovery community organizations, etc. 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.
