Workshop B PeerWorkforce Mentoring Fellowship Program Antoine Lovell, PhD, MPA, MSW, Chief Operating Officer Collaborative Support Programs of New Jersey (CSPNJ) Lisette P. Smith, BA, Director,Talent Acquisition & Engagement, Collaborative Support Programs of New Jersey (CSPNJ) Course Description: Peers within the workforce have a vital role in the provision of services that reflect mutual aid in substance use recovery and managing mental health challenges. If peers are to be success- ful in their roles within organizations, administrative support systems may need to be built to facilitate their success within the workforce. One of the major hurdles for employees who identify as peers is the lack of access to adequate social capital. In the face of organizational obstacles, social capital has been found to improve the level of performance for employees while simultane- ously achieving the goals of the organizations. In an effort to ensure the success of the peer workforce through the extension of social capital, CSPNJ has implemented a men- toring fellowship program that empowers employees to choose mentors who meet their current and future work-related needs. The CSPNJ Mentoring Fellowship Program connects staff with mentors for professional career and skills development, net- working and gaining knowledge and insight on best practices on navigating organizational behaviors.
