Summary

This study tests a training program called PATH, designed to help peer recovery support specialists who deliver harm reduction services. The program includes online lessons and group meetings to discuss real-life cases. Researchers want to see if it reduces burnout and improves the quality of services. About 100 workers from recovery organizations are taking part.
