PRS Recommendation and Clinical Oversight
 

In the PRS Supplement for the Recommendation for Services for ARTS and MH Peers it states, "the PRS will perform peer services under the oversight and clinical direction of the practitioner making the recommendation for services." In our agency and I think many others this is likely to be the Intake clinician and not the LMHP or Other qualified professional to supervise PRS work.  It would help to have the oversight by the program supervisor that meets the professional requirements and not necessarily the individual that made the recommendation as they may no longer be involved in the individuals care beyond recommendation.
