Question 1Recovery and Wellness Foundations

SAMHSA's working definition of recovery describes recovery as:

  1. a state of abstinence maintained by avoiding all stressful people, places, and situations
  2. a process of change through which people improve health and wellness and live a self-directed life Correct answer.
  3. a time-limited course of treatment that ends when a person completes the program requirements
  4. a permanent cure that removes any future risk of returning to substance use or relapse

Explanation

SAMHSA defines recovery as a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential. It is ongoing rather than a fixed end point, and it is defined by the person rather than by discharge from a program.

Question 2Recovery and Wellness Foundations

In recovery-oriented practice, hope is best understood as:

  1. the belief that change is possible and that a meaningful future can be built Correct answer.
  2. an optimistic personality trait that a person is either born with or lacks
  3. a guarantee provided by the treatment team that symptoms will never return
  4. a temporary emotional state that rises and falls with a person's daily mood

Explanation

Hope is a future-oriented belief that recovery is possible and that life can be meaningful, and it is treated as a learnable, shareable foundation of recovery. Peer workers convey hope through their own example and by holding it for people who cannot yet hold it themselves.

Question 3Recovery and Wellness Foundations

Which of the following is one of SAMHSA's guiding principles of recovery?

  1. person-driven Correct answer.
  2. symptom-free
  3. provider-directed
  4. abstinence-only

Explanation

SAMHSA's guiding principles include that recovery is person-driven, meaning people define their own life goals and design their unique path. Principles such as holistic, peer-supported, and strengths-based also reflect this orientation toward self-direction.

Question 4Recovery and Wellness Foundations

SAMHSA's wellness initiative organizes wellness into eight dimensions. Which list contains only dimensions from that model?

  1. vocational, artistic, and residential
  2. emotional, spiritual, and occupational Correct answer.
  3. legal, genetic, and political
  4. medical, academic, and recreational

Explanation

The eight dimensions are emotional, physical, occupational, intellectual, spiritual, environmental, financial, and social wellness. They overlap and influence one another, which is why peers often assess several dimensions together.

Question 5Recovery and Wellness Foundations

WRAP, a self-designed tool for staying well and planning for difficult times, stands for:

  1. Weekly Recovery Assessment Protocol
  2. Working Recovery Accountability Plan
  3. Wellness Relapse Awareness Program
  4. Wellness Recovery Action Plan Correct answer.

Explanation

WRAP is the Wellness Recovery Action Plan developed by Mary Ellen Copeland from the lived experience of people in recovery. It is a self-management tool for identifying wellness tools, triggers, early warning signs, and crisis plans.

Question 6Recovery and Wellness Foundations

Recovery capital refers to:

  1. the number of separate treatment episodes a person has completed
  2. the total resources a person can draw on to start and sustain recovery Correct answer.
  3. the amount of money a person has saved in order to pay for treatment
  4. the total length of continuous abstinence a person has achieved so far

Explanation

Recovery capital is the sum of personal, social, and community resources that support a person in initiating and sustaining recovery. It includes things like housing, relationships, health, skills, and hope, not just money or time abstinent.

Question 7Recovery and Wellness Foundations

A strengths-based approach means that the peer worker:

  1. focuses first on the member's diagnoses and deficits
  2. avoids discussing problems the member is facing
  3. builds on the member's existing skills, values, and resources Correct answer.
  4. sets goals for the member based on professional judgment

Explanation

A strengths-based approach starts from what a person already has, such as skills, relationships, values, and resilience, and uses those as the foundation for growth. Problems are still addressed, but the person is not defined by them.

Question 8Recovery and Wellness Foundations

What most distinguishes peer support from traditional clinical services?

  1. peer support is delivered only in group settings
  2. peer support draws on shared lived experience and mutual exchange Correct answer.
  3. peer support is provided by licensed clinicians
  4. peer support focuses on diagnosis and symptom reduction

Explanation

Peer support is built on the intentional use of shared lived experience and a relationship of mutuality rather than a hierarchical expert-client dynamic. Peer workers can hold credentials, but the role is grounded in recovery experience and modeling hope.

Question 9Recovery and Wellness Foundations

A person says, "I know my drinking is causing problems at home, and I have been thinking about cutting back in the next couple of months, but I have not done anything yet." In the transtheoretical model, this person is in which stage?

  1. the precontemplation stage
  2. the action stage
  3. the maintenance stage
  4. the contemplation stage Correct answer.

Explanation

Contemplation is marked by awareness that a problem exists and serious consideration of change, without commitment or action yet. Precontemplation involves no intent to change, and action involves observable steps taken within the recent past.

Question 10Recovery and Wellness Foundations

Which action best reflects trauma-informed practice by a peer worker?

  1. requiring the member to describe past trauma in detail during the first meeting
  2. keeping program rules confidential so the member is not embarrassed
  3. using confrontation to help the member face painful events quickly
  4. explaining what will happen next and asking permission before sensitive topics Correct answer.

Explanation

Trauma-informed practice emphasizes safety, trustworthiness, transparency, and choice, including preparing people for what comes next and gaining consent before exploring sensitive material. It also actively avoids re-traumatization through confrontation or forced disclosure.

Question 11Recovery and Wellness Foundations

In a person-centered recovery plan, goals are:

  1. written by the clinical team before the first meeting
  2. chosen from a standard list of approved treatment goals
  3. defined by the person in recovery, in their own words Correct answer.
  4. set by the family based on what they believe is best

Explanation

Person-centered planning places the person in the driver's seat, with the plan built around their stated goals and language. Team members, family, and peers contribute expertise and support without taking over the goal-setting.

Question 12Recovery and Wellness Foundations

A member decides to stop attending a support group the peer recommended. The most self-determination-consistent response is to:

  1. accept the decision and explore what the member wants instead Correct answer.
  2. tell the member that stopping will probably lead to relapse
  3. insist the member attend because the group is evidence-based
  4. document the decision as noncompliance with the plan

Explanation

Self-determination means honoring a person's right to make their own choices, including choices the peer would not make, and then working collaboratively on alternatives. The peer's job is to offer information and support, not to coerce participation.

Question 13Recovery and Wellness Foundations

Which is the most recovery-oriented way to describe a person?

  1. an opioid addict who is clean right now
  2. a person in recovery from opioid use disorder Correct answer.
  3. a noncompliant client with a drug problem
  4. a substance abuser with a chronic relapsing condition

Explanation

Recovery-oriented language is person-first, avoids labels such as addict or abuser, and does not reduce a person to their condition or their adherence. It also avoids treating abstinence as the sole marker of a person's identity.

Question 14Recovery and Wellness Foundations

A member who had six months without use drinks at a wedding and tells the peer, "I ruined everything." The most helpful framing is:

  1. one drink restarts the addiction, so all progress is lost
  2. the member was never really in recovery in the first place
  3. the member should be discharged for violating the plan
  4. a lapse is not a failure and can inform the updated plan Correct answer.

Explanation

A lapse is a single event that can be examined for triggers, coping gaps, and plan adjustments, while a return to sustained use is a process that can still be interrupted. Treating a lapse as total failure increases shame and reduces the chance the person re-engages quickly.

Question 15Recovery and Wellness Foundations

A member says recovery feels impossible because the only affordable housing is far from services and transportation is unreliable. Recognizing this as a barrier, the peer is applying which concept?

  1. social determinants of health Correct answer.
  2. contingency management
  3. stages of change
  4. motivational interviewing

Explanation

Social determinants of health are the conditions in which people live, such as housing, transportation, income, and neighborhood, that shape health and recovery outcomes. Effective recovery planning addresses these practical conditions, not only internal motivation or clinical factors.

Question 16Recovery and Wellness Foundations

The CHIME framework describes recovery in terms of connectedness, hope and optimism, identity, meaning, and:

  1. treatment compliance
  2. empowerment Correct answer.
  3. symptom remission
  4. medication adherence

Explanation

CHIME stands for Connectedness, Hope and optimism, Identity, Meaning, and Empowerment. It is a framework derived from the accounts of people in recovery and is used to orient services toward personal recovery rather than clinical markers alone.

Question 17Recovery and Wellness Foundations

SAMHSA's principle of "many pathways" means that:

  1. people recover through different routes, such as treatment, mutual aid, or faith Correct answer.
  2. every person must eventually complete the same sequence of treatment services in the same order
  3. only twelve-step mutual aid programs are supported within recovery-oriented systems of care
  4. medication-assisted treatment is a separate service that falls outside of a person's recovery

Explanation

Recovery is individualized, and people achieve it through varied combinations of clinical treatment, medications, mutual aid, faith communities, family, and work. No single pathway is treated as the standard against which others are measured.

Question 18Recovery and Wellness Foundations

A personal wellness plan for preventing crisis typically includes:

  1. the program's rules for discharging noncompliant members
  2. the clinician's emergency contact only
  3. early warning signs, coping strategies, and supports Correct answer.
  4. a list of medications prescribed by the psychiatrist

Explanation

Wellness plans are self-authored tools that name triggers, early warning signs, coping strategies, supportive people, and preferences for care if the person cannot make decisions. The plan belongs to the person and is shared with supporters by choice.

Question 19Recovery and Wellness Foundations

Which of the following is a SMART goal?

  1. feel better about myself this year
  2. attend three mutual aid meetings each week for the next month Correct answer.
  3. try to be more social with people who support me
  4. attend more meetings when I can

Explanation

SMART goals are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound, so the person can tell whether the goal was met. Naming a count, a frequency, and a deadline makes the goal testable and adjustable.

Question 20Recovery and Wellness Foundations

A member says, "I'm just a junkie; I don't deserve a real job." The peer recognizes this as:

  1. a symptom requiring immediate hospitalization
  2. resistance that should be confronted directly
  3. internalized stigma that can be addressed in recovery Correct answer.
  4. an accurate self-appraisal of the member's limits

Explanation

Internalized stigma occurs when a person absorbs negative societal messages about their condition and applies them to their own worth and possibilities. Naming it and challenging it with evidence and hope is a core recovery task.

Question 21Recovery and Wellness Foundations

A member has a strong network of sober friends who offer steady support, but believes that "people like me always fail." Which pairing best describes this person's recovery capital?

  1. high physical capital, low human capital
  2. high social capital, low cultural capital Correct answer.
  3. high cultural capital, low social capital
  4. high human capital, low physical capital

Explanation

Social capital is the relationships and networks that support recovery, while cultural capital is the values, beliefs, and identity a person holds about whether recovery is possible for people like them. Strong relationships paired with a belief that failure is inevitable describes high social and low cultural capital.

Question 22Recovery and Wellness Foundations

How does harm reduction relate to recovery-oriented practice?

  1. harm reduction replaces recovery with a focus on disease prevention only
  2. harm reduction requires abstinence before any other services can be offered
  3. harm reduction meets people where they are and can support recovery goals Correct answer.
  4. harm reduction is incompatible with recovery because it accepts continued substance use

Explanation

Harm reduction accepts that people are at different points in their relationship with substances and works to reduce risk while keeping people engaged in care. Because recovery is person-defined and non-linear, reduced harm can be a meaningful step within a person's own pathway.

Question 23Recovery and Wellness Foundations

A peer worker shares a portion of their own recovery story. The best guide for self-disclosure is that it should be:

  1. avoided entirely because lived experience has no place in services
  2. purposeful, brief, and focused on the member's needs and hope Correct answer.
  3. detailed enough that the member feels obligated to share equally
  4. used mainly when the peer needs support from the member

Explanation

Peer self-disclosure is a tool whose value lies in instilling hope and strengthening the relationship, so it should be intentional, limited, and in service of the member's goals. It is not reciprocity-based and is not meant to meet the peer's own needs.

Question 24Recovery and Wellness Foundations

A member who sustained recovery for two years returns to using after a death in the family and re-enters services. Using the transtheoretical model, the best interpretation is that:

  1. cycling through stages is expected, and re-engagement is not failure Correct answer.
  2. the model does not apply once a person has reached the maintenance stage
  3. the member skipped stages and must repeat treatment in order
  4. the member has failed the model and is permanently back at the first stage

Explanation

The transtheoretical model is a spiral rather than a straight line, and people commonly recycle through earlier stages after a setback. Returning to services reflects movement toward change rather than a return to the beginning in a permanent sense.

Question 25Recovery and Wellness Foundations

Recovery-oriented systems of care track wellness outcomes such as employment, housing, and quality of life rather than symptom counts alone. The best rationale for this is that:

  1. recovery outcomes include community functioning and quality of life, not just clinical symptoms Correct answer.
  2. these outcomes predict which members will be discharged early from treatment programs
  3. symptom measures are unreliable and are no longer collected in behavioral health settings
  4. housing and employment are the only outcomes that matter to funders of recovery services

Explanation

Because recovery is defined by the person and includes a self-directed, meaningful life in the community, outcome measurement must extend beyond symptom reduction to functioning, connection, and quality of life. Clinical measures remain useful but are insufficient on their own.

Question 26Recovery and Wellness Foundations

Which statement best reflects the behavioral health field's working definition of recovery?

  1. An ongoing process of change toward health, self-direction, and full potential Correct answer.
  2. A return to the level of functioning a person had before becoming ill
  3. The permanent elimination of all symptoms of a mental health or substance use condition
  4. A time-limited course of treatment delivered by licensed clinicians

Explanation

Recovery is defined as a process of change through which people improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential. It is an ongoing process rather than a fixed endpoint.

Question 27Recovery and Wellness Foundations

Federal guidance identifies four major dimensions that support a life in recovery. Which list names them?

  1. Housing, income, education, and treatment
  2. Health, wealth, status, and independence
  3. Abstinence, therapy, medication, and employment
  4. Health, home, purpose, and community Correct answer.

Explanation

The four dimensions are health (managing conditions and making healthy choices), home (a stable place to live), purpose (meaningful daily activity), and community (relationships and social networks). Together they describe the life context recovery depends on, not just symptom control.

Question 28Recovery and Wellness Foundations

Which of the following is one of the eight dimensions of wellness commonly used in recovery planning?

  1. Occupational Correct answer.
  2. Diagnostic status
  3. Legal history
  4. Medication adherence

Explanation

The eight dimensions are emotional, physical, occupational, intellectual, spiritual, social, environmental, and financial. Each dimension can be assessed and balanced as part of a personal wellness plan.

Question 29Recovery and Wellness Foundations

Wellness is best described as:

  1. An active process of making choices toward a healthy, fulfilling life Correct answer.
  2. The absence of disease, illness, and symptoms as confirmed by a clinician
  3. A set of clinical measurements taken at each appointment
  4. A fixed state that is reached once treatment is completed

Explanation

Wellness is an active, ongoing process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a healthy and fulfilling life. It is broader than the absence of illness and continues regardless of diagnosis.

Question 30Recovery and Wellness Foundations

Which dimension of wellness focuses on relationships, belonging, and connection to community?

  1. Environmental
  2. Financial
  3. Social Correct answer.
  4. Intellectual

Explanation

The social dimension addresses relationships, belonging, and connection with friends, family, and community. It is often a primary driver of sustained recovery.

Question 31Recovery and Wellness Foundations

The recovery principle that recovery is "person-driven" means that:

  1. Program staff decide which goals are realistic for each person
  2. The person defines their own goals and directs their recovery path Correct answer.
  3. Clinicians write the plan and the person follows it closely
  4. Family members make decisions whenever the person hesitates

Explanation

A person-driven approach places the individual at the center as the author of their own goals and the director of their recovery path. Staff and family serve as supports, not decision-makers.

Question 32Recovery and Wellness Foundations

A peer-run or consumer-operated service is best described as:

  1. A support group led by a licensed clinician who is also in recovery
  2. An organization governed and staffed primarily by people with lived experience Correct answer.
  3. A program where peers serve as supervised volunteers inside a clinical team
  4. A drop-in center managed by the county behavioral health department

Explanation

Peer-run organizations are governed and operated largely by people with lived experience of mental health or substance use conditions. This distinguishes them from clinical programs that merely employ peer staff.

Question 33Recovery and Wellness Foundations

Integrated treatment for co-occurring mental health and substance use conditions means:

  1. Focusing only on the condition the person names as most pressing
  2. Treating both conditions at the same time, ideally by the same team Correct answer.
  3. Treating the substance use first and the mental health condition afterward
  4. Referring the person to two separate agencies with separate plans

Explanation

Integrated treatment addresses mental health and substance use conditions together, at the same time, ideally by one coordinated team. Sequential and parallel approaches typically produce poorer engagement and outcomes.

Question 34Recovery and Wellness Foundations

A member says, "I want to work, but I should finish a year of job training before I try." A peer worker using an evidence-based supported employment approach would most likely:

  1. Help the person seek competitive employment now with ongoing support Correct answer.
  2. Advise the person to postpone work until symptoms fully remit
  3. Recommend volunteer work until the person feels fully ready
  4. Agree that a year of training first is the safer route

Explanation

Supported employment is built on rapid job search in competitive settings, followed by ongoing individualized support. Readiness requirements and lengthy pre-employment training are not prerequisites in this model.

Question 35Recovery and Wellness Foundations

Housing First programs are built on the premise that:

  1. People complete a transitional program before receiving an apartment
  2. Shelters are sufficient when case management is available
  3. Housing is offered without preconditions and paired with voluntary supports Correct answer.
  4. Housing must be earned through sobriety and treatment attendance

Explanation

Housing First provides permanent housing without preconditions such as sobriety or treatment compliance, then offers voluntary supports. Stable housing is treated as a foundation for recovery rather than a reward.

Question 36Recovery and Wellness Foundations

Which statement correctly distinguishes spirituality from religion in wellness planning?

  1. Spirituality concerns meaning and purpose, with or without religion Correct answer.
  2. Spirituality is identical to religious affiliation, attendance, and doctrine
  3. Spirituality is a symptom domain rather than a wellness domain
  4. Religion is assessed only when the person asks for a chaplain

Explanation

Spirituality refers to a person's sense of meaning, purpose, and connection, which may or may not involve organized religion. It is one of the eight wellness dimensions and should be explored in the person's own terms.

Question 37Recovery and Wellness Foundations

A peer worker is supporting a member whose cultural background differs from their own. Cultural humility is best demonstrated by:

  1. Avoiding any discussion of culture to prevent discomfort
  2. Assuming the person's family will make all the decisions
  3. Relying on general knowledge about the person's ethnic or cultural group
  4. Asking about values and practices while examining one's own assumptions Correct answer.

Explanation

Cultural humility combines curiosity about the person's own values and practices with ongoing reflection on one's own biases. It avoids both stereotyping and avoidance of culture as a topic.

Question 38Recovery and Wellness Foundations

Why is physical health a core concern in recovery-oriented practice for people with serious mental illness?

  1. Because this group has higher rates of chronic disease and early death Correct answer.
  2. Because physical symptoms show the mental health condition has worsened
  3. Because psychiatric medications never affect physical health
  4. Because licensing bodies tie reimbursement to wellness programs

Explanation

People with serious mental illness experience elevated rates of chronic conditions and die years earlier than the general population, often from treatable medical causes. Wellness work therefore includes physical health as a recovery priority.

Question 39Recovery and Wellness Foundations

A member in recovery from opioid use disorder says they feel ashamed about taking a prescribed medication. The peer worker's best response is to:

  1. Affirm prescribed medication as a valid recovery support Correct answer.
  2. Avoid the topic because medication is a clinical matter
  3. Agree that using medication means the person is not in recovery
  4. Suggest the person taper off so recovery is truly abstinent

Explanation

Medications for opioid use disorder are an evidence-based recovery support, and multiple pathways to recovery include medication. The peer worker affirms the person's choice and addresses shame without giving clinical direction.

Question 40Recovery and Wellness Foundations

A member reports being overwhelmed by racing thoughts before appointments. The peer worker teaches a brief mindfulness exercise. The purpose of this skill is to:

  1. Suppressing unwanted thoughts through distraction
  2. Observing thoughts and sensations without judgment Correct answer.
  3. Replacing medication with a relaxation routine
  4. Analyzing the childhood origins of the thoughts

Explanation

Mindfulness involves noticing thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations with curiosity and without judgment rather than fighting them. This reduces reactivity and builds self-management capacity.

Question 41Recovery and Wellness Foundations

A member's recovery plan lists only attendance at meetings and omits housing, health, work, and relationships. A peer worker applying the holistic principle would:

  1. Add clinical goals the person has not mentioned
  2. Conclude that the person is not ready for recovery planning
  3. Explore other life areas and invite the person to set goals there Correct answer.
  4. Keep the plan on meetings so the person is not overwhelmed

Explanation

The holistic principle holds that recovery encompasses the whole person and multiple life domains, not one activity. The peer worker raises other areas as an invitation while leaving goal selection with the person.

Question 42Recovery and Wellness Foundations

A peer-run respite is best described as:

  1. A day program limited to medication management
  2. A brief, home-like alternative to hospitalization run by peers Correct answer.
  3. An inpatient detoxification facility with medical monitoring
  4. A locked crisis unit staffed by psychiatric nurses

Explanation

Peer respites offer short-term, voluntary, home-like support during distress as an alternative to emergency departments or inpatient care. They are staffed by people with lived experience and are typically non-clinical in feel.

Question 43Recovery and Wellness Foundations

A peer worker notices they are becoming irritable and detached after months of intense caseloads. The most appropriate action is to:

  1. Using supervision, peer support, and self-care to address burnout Correct answer.
  2. Working longer hours to clear the backlog
  3. Concealing the strain because peers must be role models
  4. Sharing the frustration in detail with members to normalize it

Explanation

Burnout is an occupational hazard in peer work and is addressed through supervision, peer support, and deliberate self-care. Sharing distress in detail with members shifts an unmet need onto the people being served.

Question 44Recovery and Wellness Foundations

Recovery management differs from acute-care models mainly because it:

  1. Focuses exclusively on medication adherence and attendance
  2. Requires hospitalization at the first sign of difficulty
  3. Offers continuing support across episodes, not only episodic care Correct answer.
  4. Ends services once the person completes a treatment episode

Explanation

Recovery management provides ongoing, low-threshold support across time rather than treating each episode as a discrete event. It assumes that recovery is a long-term process with varying support needs.

Question 45Recovery and Wellness Foundations

A psychiatric advance directive is used to:

  1. Authorizes a guardian to make all decisions permanently
  2. Records the person's treatment preferences for a future crisis Correct answer.
  3. Commits the person to a fixed course of medication
  4. Replaces the person's personal wellness plan

Explanation

A psychiatric advance directive documents a person's preferences and instructions for treatment during a future crisis, when they may be unable to speak for themselves. It extends self-determination into periods of diminished capacity.

Question 46Recovery and Wellness Foundations

Which statement correctly distinguishes recovery from cure?

  1. A cure guarantees that recovery will follow
  2. Recovery is a process of improved wellness that can occur without cure Correct answer.
  3. Recovery requires a cure before a person can pursue wellness
  4. Recovery and cure are interchangeable terms in behavioral health practice

Explanation

Recovery is a process of improving health, wellness, and life direction and does not depend on eliminating a condition. Many people live full, self-directed lives while a condition or its symptoms continue.

Question 47Recovery and Wellness Foundations

A member wants to move into their own apartment even though the peer worker worries about isolation. The concept of dignity of risk suggests the peer worker should:

  1. Ask the landlord to monitor the person's daily activities
  2. Redirect the person toward a staffed group home instead
  3. Refuse to support the move until the person agrees to more services
  4. Support the person's informed choice and plan for safety together Correct answer.

Explanation

Dignity of risk recognizes that taking reasonable risks is part of a full adult life and of learning. The peer worker respects the informed choice and collaborates on supports that address the identified concern without removing the decision.

Question 48Recovery and Wellness Foundations

Which situation best illustrates community inclusion as a recovery support?

  1. A member joins a neighborhood softball league Correct answer.
  2. A member attends a weekly therapy group at the mental health clinic
  3. A member completes a residential treatment program
  4. A member meets monthly with a case manager at home

Explanation

Community inclusion means participating in ordinary community life, such as recreation, work, and civic activity, in the same settings as other citizens. Clinical services support recovery but are not themselves community inclusion.

Question 49Recovery and Wellness Foundations

Which feature most clearly distinguishes a personal wellness plan from a clinical treatment plan?

  1. The person owns it and writes it in their own words Correct answer.
  2. It lists diagnoses and prescribed medications
  3. It is kept in the agency's electronic record
  4. It is reviewed and signed by a licensed clinician

Explanation

A personal wellness plan is authored and owned by the person, expressed in their own language, and centered on what they want for their life. Clinical treatment plans are clinician-authored, diagnosis-driven documents.

Question 50Recovery and Wellness Foundations

A member's family defines success as complete abstinence, while the member defines success as returning to school and repairing relationships. Applying person-driven recovery, the peer worker should:

  1. Avoid the conflict by focusing only on attendance at meetings
  2. Recommend the family attend their own treatment to change their views
  3. Support the member's definition and help them discuss it with family Correct answer.
  4. Adopt the family's definition because families provide the most support

Explanation

Person-driven recovery means the individual's own goals and definition of success guide the work. The peer worker can also help the person communicate that definition to family in ways that preserve important relationships.
