If you were to have a mental health crisis /addiction relapse describe how you would handle it. 4
5 YOUR RECOVERY STORY TEMPLATE One of the most important things you will ever do as a peer support specialist is to tell the story of your mental illness and/or your addiction/substance use disorder and your recovery. Your story will be important to your clients and to other service providers. The story of your illness will help clients relate to you. The story of your recovery will give clients hope, and more knowledge of and belief in the possibility of recovery. Many service providers also need to increase their knowledge of recovery and need to come to believe that it is a real possibility for clients. It is vital that you know how to tell your story effectively. It is important that you plan how to tell your story and that you practice telling it. It is a good idea to have your story planned out and practiced in various ways and time-lengths so that whenever you have an opportunity to make an impact with your story, you will be ready. For example, you will have a long version that you might deliver at a special event. You also might have 5, 15 and 30 minute versions ready for more specific purposes; you have 5 minutes to introduce yourself at a staff meeting, you have 15 minutes with a brand new client, etc. The following format is borrowed from Alcoholics Anonymous and is an easy way to structure your story. WHAT IT WAS LIKE WHAT HAPPENED WHAT IT IS LIKE NOW To begin write in the WHAT IT WAS LIKE section and tell what your life was like when you were living with untreated mental illness/addiction or what is was like to live with both. Write in the WHAT HAPPENED section to tell about the thing, the person or the place that spurred you into recovery. write in the WHAT IT IS LIKE NOW section to tell about your life in recovery. This is an excellent way to begin writing your recovery story. There is a beginning, a middle and an end. The format will help you stay focused. Use this format and use your truth and your personality. Write it and tell it in a way that expresses the pain and sorrow, the hard work and doubt, and the thrill and joy that you have experienced in this journey. As part of the application process, we ask that you write your recovery story using this formula. 5

8 The South Carolina Department of Mental Health Certified Peer Support Specialist Code of Professional Conduct Peer Support is a helping relationship between mental health clients and Certified Peer Support Specialists (CPSS) encouraging respect, trust, and warmth. The primary responsibility of Certified Peer Support Specialists is to help empower clients to achieve their own needs, wants, and goals as specified in the plan of care. As such they are committed to providing and advocating for effective recovery based services for the people they serve. Peer Support Specialists recognize the importance of a Code of Ethics and are dedicated to these standards being rigorously enforced. 1. Certified Peer Support Specialists will not practice, condone, facilitate, or collaborate in any form of discrimination on the basis of ethnicity, race, sex, sexual orientation, age, religion, national origin, marital status, political belief, mental or physical disability, or any other preference or personal characteristic, condition, or state. Certified Peer Support Specialist will adhere to policies set forth by the directive (4-100) Abuse, Neglect or Exploitation of Patients and Clients Prohibited 2. Certified Peer Support Specialists will maintain high standards of personal and professional conduct and shall not be party to any type of behavior, activity or policy that denies any client equal, nondiscriminatory access to service and/or support; or which deliberately demeans the rights and/or dignity of any client, staff or colleague. 3. Certified Peer Support Specialists will, at all times, respect the dignity, privacy and confidentiality rights of the clients they serve. 4. Certified Peer Support Specialists will never engage in sexual/intimate activities with the clients they serve. Certified Peer Support Specialists shall avoid being drawn into dual (friendships, business bartering etc.) relationships with clients while the support relationship is ongoing. 5. Certified Peer Support Specialists never give out their personal contact information to clients, but will ensure clients know how to contact them through the mental health center. 6. Certified Peer Support Specialists shall only provide service and support within the hours, days and locations that are sanctioned by the mental health center. 7. Certified Peer Support Specialists will conduct themselves in a manner that fosters their own recovery. In so doing, Peer Support Specialists are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner and take the necessary steps to ensure their conduct does not negatively affect the perception of this program. 8. Certified Peer Support Specialists will openly share with clients and colleagues their recovery stories from mental illness as appropriate for the situation in order to promote and support recovery and resilience. 9. Certified Peer Specialists will keep current with emerging knowledge relevant to recovery, and openly share this knowledge with their colleagues while refraining from giving advice or opinions that exceeds the scope of practice as defined in the Community Mental Health Services Provider Manual Section 2 Policies and Procedures 2-68 for the Peer Support Service. 10. As state employees, Certified Peer Specialists cannot accept personal gifts. 8
9 Please Note: 1. Applying to attend the training is not a guarantee of acceptance into the training class. 2. Certification is not guarantee of a job as a peer specialist. Individual mental health centers, V.A. programs and other mental health facilities chose their own staff. 3. Candidates must have proven leadership experience. There is not enough time in the training to teach you how to set-up, plan and facilitate a group. You must already possess those skills. We require 100 hours of formal or voluntary experience related to mental health, community service or public service. (See the Certification Requirements section for more information). 4. Peer specialists must document the services they provide to clients. SCDMH uses an electronic medical record for documentation it is therefore imperative that peer candidates have basic computer skills. 5. The job of a peer support specialist is not to replace current clinical mental health and/or addiction treatment staff but to offer additional options to help clients in their efforts to recover by providing a wide range of skill building services. They do this by advocating for effective recovery based services for the people they serve; assisting clients in obtaining services and information that meet their individual needs; informing clients about community and natural supports and how to use them in a recovery process and; assisting clients in becoming empowered through self-advocacy skills, addressing stigma and discrimination against themselves and their peers all to help clients assume responsibility for their individual recovery. 6. Certified Peer Support Specialists (CPSS s) utilize their own experience and training to assist adult mental health clients in understanding how to manage their illness in their daily lives by helping them to identify key resources, listening and encouraging them to cope with barriers and work towards their goals. They provide ongoing support to keep people engaged in proactive and continual follow up treatment by guiding them through self-help and self-improvement activities that cultivate the client s ability to make informed independent choices and facilitates specific, realistic activities that lead to increased self-worth and improved self-concepts. 7. Qualities & Characteristics Being well established in your own recovery and resiliency. Possess the personal qualities that enable you to rebound without decompensating. Be flexible and have good organizational skills. Be self-motivated with the ability to work well independently and in groups. Possess good inter-personal and communication (verbal & written) skills. Exercise good judgment. 8. Training Requirements: All candidates must complete every day of the training and then pass a written competency exam hours of continuing education training annually of which 12 hours must be face-to-face training. All trainings must be approved by SC SHARE. 10. Each candidate is responsible for making/paying all arrangements for hotel and transportation. 9
