Becoming a Peer Leader: Montana's Path to Recovery Advocacy
Our goal is really to empower you, the person in recovery, to get involved with the movement and hopefully learn some really valuable skills that you could use in any sort of setting, not just with the recovery movement.
What if you could turn your recovery journey into a leadership role that helps others? In this episode of 'Recovery Talks', Jim and Andi from Montana's Peer Network discuss their innovative Peer Advocacy and Leadership Project Passport. This initiative is more than just a training program; it's a way for individuals in recovery to track their progress, gain valuable skills, and be recognized as peer leaders.
With six unique training opportunities, participants earn cards and stickers to mark their achievements, transforming their personal growth into a visible journey of empowerment. The training covers everything from understanding recovery principles to building effective partnerships and councils. By taking part, individuals not only enhance their own recovery but also contribute to a larger movement towards recovery-oriented behavioral health services.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to make a difference in their community while advancing their own recovery journey.
