3.G.21.c. Peer roles

Rule

Written criteria and guidelines explain expectations for peer leadership and mentoring roles.

Levels

I

II

III

IV

This rule applies to all levels.

Guidance

Whereas standard 1.D.12. focuses on written staff job descriptions, this rule focuses on peer (e.g. resident, alumni…) leadership roles. This can range from House President to Chore Captain to Advisory Council Member or any number of roles found within the recovery residence structure and culture. This could potentially include peer staff roles, if there are not substantial power differentials. This rule is NOT referencing “top-down” patriarchy roles filled by someone who happens to have lived experience in recovery from substance use issues.

Evaluation

Is there written criteria and guidelines explaining expectations for peer leadership and mentoring roles?

Evidence

Evidence for meeting this standard should be found in the resident packet and the leadership manual.
