Artificial intelligence is already reshaping how organizations operate and peer recovery support is no exception. But most AI training isn't built for the peer workforce. This 90-minute webinar changes that. Designed specifically for peer recovery support specialists and peer organization staff, this session demystifies generative AI through a peer values lens, teaches a practical prompting framework you can use immediately, and equips you with the safety knowledge to protect the people you serve. You'll leave with concrete skills for using AI to reduce administrative burden, strengthen your peer voice in written materials, and safeguard confidentiality; all while keeping the human connection at the center of everything you do. No prior AI experience required.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this presentation, participants will:

• Describe what generative AI is and how it works using accessible, peer-centered language, and distinguish between augmentation (empowering peers) and automation (replacing peers).

• Apply the PREP prompting framework (Persona, Recipient, Exact Task, Parameters) to generate recovery-aligned written content for administrative, outreach, and organizational tasks.

• Demonstrate the Peer Voice Editing process to review and refine AI-generated outputs for person-first language, cultural responsiveness, and alignment with peer recovery values.

• Identify data safety boundaries for AI use in peer settings, including what information must never be entered into a public AI tool, with attention to HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2 protections.
