The Peer’s Role in Patient Recovery
#whatisapeer
As a peer, you may be the only person in the Emergency Department who's actually been where the patient is right now. That gives you something no clinical credential can: the ability to build trust and connect in a moment when a patient may feel judged, scared, or completely alone.
These resources are designed to prepare you for that moment, offering practical guidance on your role in ED-based recovery support, plus information on how to talk with patients about medication for opioid use disorder, motivational interviewing, HIPAA and hospital safety, de-escalation, warm handoffs and follow-up, and protecting your own recovery while doing this work.
