This keynote address was given at the CEPS (Centre of Excellence in Peer Support) Conference in 2013. Sandy Watson from inside out & associates, provides a unique critique of aspects of peer workforce development, arguing that there are two distinct disciplines, the discipline of consumer engagement and leadership, and the discipline of recovery-based peer work, that have different needs for training and support. Sandy explores a number of confusions that may impede peer workforce development, if left unaddressed.
