The 4th Annual Wisconsin Peer Recovery Conference: Recovery Outside the Box is designed to demonstrate aspects of effective peer support within community services of mental health and substance use recovery. Peers, consumers, and service providers are able to enhance their individual skills and explore innovative applications of peer support in various communities statewide.
The Conference Committee, in conjunction with ILR, funded by Department of Health Services - Division of Care and Treatment Services brought 2 keynotes and 25, 90-minute, breakout workshops to WI honoring Certified Peer Specialist continuing education in August 2019. Topics addressed at the conference included: trauma-informed care, ethics and boundaries, mindfulness, substance use recovery, alternative therapies, recovery oriented peer support groups, supporting those in the correctional justice system and many, many more!
We have officially doubled our attendance from our first conference in 2015 and continue to grow! Peer support and Mental Health Services are growing rapidly and we feel honored to be able to put on such an event for our WI communities!
A huge thank you to all of those involved this year including ILR staff, Department of Health Services – Division of Care and Treatment Services, University of WI Stevens Point, Stoney Creek Hotel and Conference Center, the Conference Committee, Keynotes, and our 26 Presenters for all of the hard work you did to make this year successful!
