The Value of Peer Support Groups to Recovery

The Value of Peer Support Groups to Recovery with Carrie Kappel, RN System Manager of Operations, Addiction at Alina Health.   Today's interview focuses on peer support groups and the essential role they fill for those in recovery. We talk specifically about Nurses Peer Support Network in Minnesota as this is where Carrie volunteers, and it gives us a nice look into a peer support group and the value they provide. We need to incorporate next steps resources for those we confront in our hospitals. Have a list of phone numbers on hand to provide or better yet, someone from a peer support group on standby to assist the healthcare professional who has just had their life turned upside down after being questioned about diversion and a substance use disorder.   For more information on drug diversion: https://www.rxpert.solutions/  #drugdiversion #hospitalpharmacy #opioidcrisis #hospitalworker
