Health Equity in Peer Recovery Support Services
|
|
|
Health equity is a priority for the PR CoE’s work internally and externally. Internally, the PR CoE seeks to promote inclusivity and equity in its workshops and other offerings. Externally, we plan to develop a series of events, tools, and resources focused on promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion of the peer workforce and in the delivery of peer services. To this end, the PR CoE is proud to partner with One World Recovery Network to enhance our focus on Health Equity.

This focus area is integral to the work of the PR CoE as it ties directly into our mission, vision, and values. We recognize that our work will have limited impact if it does not center the diverse voices of individuals with lived experience in recovery, seek to include them in decision-making processes, and work consistently towards greater equity in peer services. Examples of work we have done related to equity include our work to create spaces for peer workers from the deaf and hard-of-hearing community as well as our community listening sessions with the Puerto Rican community. Health Equity is more than just a focus area; it's a beacon of hope! We are leaders and experts who are committed to advancing health equity. We are also from diverse backgrounds and we have lived experience with recovery.
