SUMMARY:Improving Your Self Talk
DESCRIPTION:What would it be like if you could direct your internal dialogue where you want it to go? Wouldn’t it be great to silence your inner critic? Improving Your Self-Talk will help you do that very thing. This training will tell you how to “catch it\, check it\, change it.” It will allow you to be in the “driver’s seat” of your own head (for the most part). \n  \nParticipants will: \n\nExplore practical ways to stop unhelpful internal dialogue\, allowing peers to show up more centered\, calm\, and grounded when supporting others.\nLearn strategies for cultivating an encouraging inner voice\, so peers can model hope\, confidence\, resilience\, and self-compassion for the individuals they serve.\nDiscover how shifts in sub modalities impact self-talk and emotional state\, giving peers concrete tools they can use—and teach—to create more empowering thinking patterns.\nPractice methods for improving self-talk to support emotional well-being\, helping peers reduce overwhelm\, maintain balance\, and prevent compassion fatigue. \n\n  \nMeet the Trainer: \nChuck Hendrix is a Certified Peer Support Specialist (CPSS)\, Certified Life Coach\, NLP Practitioner\, and a Board-Certified Hypnotherapist. He has been studying personal growth for more than 25 years. He is always developing special trainings to further the impact that CPSS and recovery coaches can make with those they work with. Chuck is known for his unique communication style that is both engaging and funny.

For the second recertification cycle\, Second Edition Ethics will be required. \nTraining Overview: \nCertified peers across the state of Michigan are required to adhere to the Peer Code of Ethics to help protect both clients and peers.

In this training\, we will explore the Peer Code of Ethics in more detail while outlining effective strategies to set professional boundaries that can help avoid or respond to ethical concerns you may face. \nTraining Objectives: \n\nUnderstand the core components of the MDHHS Certified Peer Support Specialist (CPSS) and Certified Peer Recovery Coach (CPRC) code of ethics.\nExplore possibilities of how unethical decisions happen.\nIdentify and evaluate self-care practices to maintain boundaries and ethical behavior.\nExplore how to be more effective when setting and maintaining boundaries.\nPractice and exercise decision-making skills when presented with an ethical dilemma.\n\nTrainers:  \nSara Szczotka\, CPRC\, YRC\, drew on her lived experience to serve in a wide range of professional roles\, including leading a recovery community organization\, working as a peer alongside law enforcement\, providing community-based outreach\, and supporting individuals in inpatient settings. Across these diverse contexts\, her work focused on strengthening recovery support\, improving peer integration\, and fostering collaboration between systems. She supervised peer professionals in multiple settings and has been engaged with Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) since the rollout of the Certified Peer Recovery Coach (CPRC) curriculum in 2018. Deeply committed to supporting and advancing the peer workforce\, Sara uses her experience to guide training conversations on leadership\, ethics\, advocacy\, connection\, and the importance of multiple pathways to recovery. \nHunter Spiess\, CPRC\, CPSS\, is an individual in long-term recovery who is dually certified as a Peer Support Specialist and Peer Recovery Coach. With five years of experience in the peer profession and a strong background in harm reduction\, Hunter is committed to supporting individuals navigating substance use\, mental health challenges\, and personal transformation. \nGrounded in ethics\, compassion\, and lived experience\, he brings a steady\, person-centered approach to recovery support and training as a peer trainer for the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS).  Hunter is also a musician and a proud uncle to two wonderful children\, who continually inspire his dedication to fostering hope\, resilience\, and connection within the communities he serves. \nEligible for 6.5 MDHHS Continuing Education credits. \nCoffee and lunch will be served at this training. \nRegistration: Please register below (on this site) using a credit or debit card\, which is the quickest way to confirm your attendance. \nONLY if you need to pay by check\, please complete this form (click here) and email it to: registration@mipeers.org.
