Ethics and boundaries are crucial to the field of Peer Support. This workshop is designed to focus on the potential challenges (while celebrating successes) of honoring this vital piece of our work as Peer Support Specialist. There are a number of ethical concerns that may arise in the various settings in which certified peer support specialists work. Therefore, in peer support work there is a code of conduct and ethical principles to specify the responsibilities of the certified peer support specialist. They establish what behavior and actions are considered to be acceptable or unacceptable for the practice of peer support.The code of ethics is not only put in place for the benefit of certified peer support specialists, but also to protect the peers, the families, associates, and the general public.
