Dear Attendee, On behalf of the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System’s Office of Individual and Family Affairs (AHCCCS-OIFA), I would like to welcome you to the 2017 conference of the International Association of Peer Supporters (iNAPS). We are very honored that iNAPS chose Arizona to be the site of this year’s conference. Arizona has a long and rich history of peer and recovery support. We have been training individuals with lived experience of treatment for mental health and substance use disorders to support their peers since the early 2000s. Our state has always enjoyed having a diverse array of agencies offering training in peer and recovery support. In 2012, our state’s peer and recovery support community came together and established a set of peer/recovery support training program standards that eventually all training programs would adhere to. The State put these standards into policy, and they serve as the core of our Medicaid-reimbursable peer/recovery support training and credentialing programs. Since then, over 3,000 individuals have been credentialed as Peer/Recovery Support Specialists (P/RSS) through the variety of training programs now available to persons across the state. With the integration of physical and behavioral health happening nationally, P/RSS’s working in the field often find themselves in new and conflicting positions. The principle of mutuality, for example, which is at the heart of peer and recovery support, can easily be compromised when the “peer-to-peer” relationship changes into one based on power and professional status. It will require considerable education and collaboration to move the medical establishment to a place from which it can more regularly earn the trust of people who haven’t always felt respected or heard by it. In times like these, meetings such as this conference provide invaluable support to those who support others, and give all of us a chance to learn from each other. It’s important that we recognize this opportunity for what it is: a chance to make history.
