Effective Use of Peer Programs to Prevent the
Use of Seclusion and Restraint
Meeting Materials

As a part of its on-going efforts to advance the use of trauma-informed practices to prevent aversive interventions such as seclusion and restraint, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) Promoting Alternatives to S&R through Trauma Informed Practices, which is contracted to NASMHPD, is sponsoring a two-day regional training on Effective Use of Peer Programs to Prevent the Use of Seclusion and Restraints.

We know that peer voice, peer involvement and peer leadership are essential in transforming systems to be trauma-informed and less coercive. In our work with various states across human service systems, we hear from organizations and institutions that they face significant challenges in developing peer programs and in maximizing the effectiveness of their peer programs. This Regional Meeting will bring together national peer leaders as well as organizations that have developed creative and effective peer programs. The meeting format will include a combination of:  presentations from nationally known experts; opportunities for teams to engage in facilitated group planning; and the sharing of lessons-learned between/across teams.

Please print handouts and bring them with you to the meeting. Handouts will not be provided onsite. To open the handout, please click the blue link over each title. We look forward to seeing you soon!
