The MHA will host the webinar Building Effective Peer Recovery Coach Programs in Hospitals Feb. 12 from 8:30 – 9:30 a.m. to help hospitals create hospital-based peer recovery coach (PRC) programs, providing background information and insights from hospitals currently doing the work.
Recognizing the growing need for substance use disorder (SUD) services and the invaluable role peer recovery coaches have in supporting patients through their recovery journey, the webinar aims to aid hospital leaders and clinical teams understand the role of PRCs as part of a comprehensive SUD care team.
The webinar will explore the critical role of PRCs in the hospital setting, focusing on how improving care for patients with SUDs. Hospital staff, administrators and healthcare leaders will learn about the value of integrating PRCs into their teams, how to start and scale a PRC program and funding mechanisms available to support this work.
Participants will hear from Henry Ford Health and Munson Healthcare about their programs, with the opportunity to ask questions about program design or implementation. This webinar will offer practical insights into overcoming challenges, building collaborative teams and creating effective PRC models in their own organizations.
Registration is free and open to MHA members. Members working closely with patients who have a SUD, manage emergency department operations or a clinical practice, or support patient’s needs at the time of discharge are encouraged to register.
