The Art of Peer Supervision: Holding Space, Building Strength

Supervising peer recovery support staff is a unique and meaningful responsibility that requires specialized approaches. Traditional supervision models do not always translate to peer-led roles, where lived experience, recovery values, and boundaries intersect with professional practice.

This training, The Art of Peer Supervision: Holding Space, Building Strength, will prepare supervisors, peers, and organizational leaders to provide effective, recovery-oriented supervision that sustains both professional development and personal recovery wellness.

Participants will explore:

• Core knowledge and values of peer recovery support
• How supervising peers differs from supervising non-peers
• Challenges such as boundaries, burnout, and role clarity
• Reflective, supportive, and educational supervision practices
• Strategies to sustain the peer profession through community connection

• Peer Recovery Support Supervisors
• Peer Recovey Supporters
• ALL Behavioral Health Professionals
• Program Managers & Directors
• Recovery Community Leaders
• Anyone interested in strengthening peer-based workforce sustainability

• Cassidy Lekan
• Jessie Jennings
• Hannah Schilling

These leaders bring lived experience, professional expertise, and years of commitment to advancing peer recovery support supervision.

On the Front Lines Community Alliance (OTFLCA) – a nonprofit, peer-run recovery community organization that empowers recovery professionals through workforce development, professional wellness, and advocacy.
