I agree with all other comments to date.  I would add for the Peer, to remove the requirement to be QMHP as peer now has a registration/certification.  Also I would recommend not limiting this to a peer with SMI history as the peer movement now trains peers to help cross disability so someone with SUD background could be effective with those with mental health challenges as well as the opposite.  It should not be based on disability but their ability to use their peer experience within their work on the team and with consumers.
