  • use a person’s dissatisfaction as an avenue to setting recovery goals
  • use the PICBA problem solving process with a peer
  • use questions to help a peer identify and move through their fears
  • use the Catch it! Check it! Change it! process to help a peer combat negative self‐talk
  • use the Shared Decision Making process to help a peer prepare for a doctor’s visit
  • teach peers to advocate for the services that they want

*PSC (Peer Support Canada) recommends that Peer Support Workers have their own written recovery
action plan and be able to assist other peers in writing one. Prairies to Peaks Consulting Inc. has
developed a workbook for this purpose. For more information or purchase, please contact: Beth Henry
