4 Core Competencies for our Peer Counselors
These are some of the principal foundation principles that Peer Counselors/supports are taught through their training and credentialing.
01
Trauma-Informed

psychological, and emotional safety and creates opportunities for survivors to rebuild a sense of control and
empower.

Person-Centered

services. Peer recovery support is personalized to align with the specific hopes, goals, and preferences of the
individual served.

Recovery orientated
Beginning Steps Peer workers hope for those they serve, partnering with them to envision
and achieve a meaningful and purposeful life. Peer workers help those they serve to identify and build on
strengths and empower them to choose for themselves, recognizing that there are multiple pathways to
recovery.
04
Relationship Focused
The relationship between the peer worker and the peer is the foundation on which peer recovery support services and support are provided. The relationship between the peer worker and
