4 Points by Sheraton Novi- Ethics and Boundaries for Peer Workers

Note: This training is only for individuals who are in the first recertification cycle of Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) continuing education requirements. For the second recertification cycle, Advanced Ethics will be required.

Certified peers across the state of Michigan are required to adhere to the Peer Code of Ethics to help protect both clients and peers.

• Understand the core components of the MDHHS Certified Peer Support Specialist (CPSS) and Certified Peer Recovery Coach (CPRC) code of ethics.

• Identify and evaluate self-care practices to maintain boundaries and ethical behavior.
• Explore how to be more effective when setting and maintaining boundaries.
• Practice and exercise decision-making skills when presented with an ethical dilemma.
