Self-Care: An Essential Practice for Peers

The Behavioral Health Administration, the University of Maryland Training Center, and Talbot County Health Department is pleased to bring Self-Care to you.

What is Self-Care: An Essential Practice for Peers?

Purpose: Self-care is an essential practice for peer recovery specialists working in the field of addiction and mental health. Practicing self-care offers a strengths based approach to recovery and wellness as well as a resource for handling life’s many challenges. It also helps to foster a positive recovery environment as peers practicing self-care model wellness as a way of life.

Objectives of Training:

Having a strong foundation in recovery and wellness is where our work as peers begin. Committing to our own ongoing practice of self-care allows us to be healthy supporters to the peers we serve. At the same time, it helps us to maintain our own recovery and wellness in a long-term and sustainable way
