• B. Remain authentic
• C. Seek ways to improve their ability to serve others
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Ongoing development for Peer Recovery Specialists includes growing in their own recovery, staying authentic in practice, and continually seeking ways to improve how they assist others. Personal recovery growth helps peers relate to clients with credibility and hope, showing that change is possible. Remaining authentic builds trust and keeps interactions genuine, which is essential when peers share lived experience. Actively seeking ways to improve their ability to serve others keeps skills current and responsive to clients’ needs, whether through training, supervision, or feedback. When these elements come together, they reinforce a continuous path of growth that enhances both the peer’s practice and the support they provide.
