Extending the Reach of Treatment thru Peer Support Specialists

This podcast will explore how Tidelands Health has employed peer support specialists - people who have been successful in the recovery process who help others experiencing similar situations-- patient navigators. Tidelands staff will provide highlights of peer support training, as well as how they have been accepted by staff, clinicians and patients. Moreover, they will share how peer support has improved patient outcomes, reduced return visits to the ED and has returned time to clinicians for other activities.
