DSAB 235 - Peer Wellness and Recovery (3 Credits)

Prerequisite: None
Nationally, the emphasis on developing skills to support peer counseling, wellness and recovery have become more important in recent years. Individuals with behavioral and mental health issues live, on average, 25 years less than other adults in the same age group. This course will focus on understanding the dynamics of peer wellness and peer recovery programs, including self-advocacy. Information about health conditions, co-occurring conditions, modifiable risk factors, and coaching and communication strategies to support lifestyle changes will be included. Students will learn to develop a peer wellness curriculum and identify strengths and weaknesses in this approach to behavioral health.
