Gonzales has contact info; will share) • Integrated Peer Support • Work beyond the summit is necessary; summit should be an incubator • The value added by peer support/recovery coaches needs to be imparted to the clinical world in a meaningful way; legitimate proof that this works and is beneficial/effective • Need to find ways to get good data, fund research and get the word out there as broadly and effectively as possible • Need to start thinking more globally, not just one system, but all, e.g. need global standards for peer support specialists/recovery coaches • This could go under both categories – Develop a white papers • Define what a Treatment (Recovery) Team is; including peer support, training, defined roles • Anyone who comes for care or support, in any system, is greeted with “what is happening with you?
