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!
