"Supervisors and peer workers will participate in trainings covering effective peer services, trauma-informed effective peer supervision, and responsibilities of peer workers in a supervising relationship. A monthly Supervisors of Peer Workers meeting will support site change efforts. Sites will create an implementation team to work within their site to implement the training received.~Peer Workers will enroll in a peer mentoring program, where they serve as peer mentors matched with fellow peer mentors. Recovery International and the Los Angeles Department of Mental Health will encourage peer workers to attend Recovery International meetings. Emotional Health Association will refer Peer Workers and their Supervisors in the intervention group to self-help support groups that reduce stress and increase resiliency."
