The MHA will host a webinar Building Effective Peer Recovery Coaching Programs in Hospitals Feb. 12 from 8:30 to 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.
The webinar will explore the critical role of PRCs in a hospital setting, focusing on how improving care for patients with substance use disorders (SUD). 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.
Registration is free and open to MHA members. Members working closely with patients who have a substance use disorder, manage emergency department operations or a clinical practice, or support patient’s needs at the time of discharge, are encouraged to register.
Members with questions about the webinar should contact Erica Leyko at the MHA. Members with questions about the MHA’s PRC efforts and programming should contact Kelsey Ostergren at the MHA.
