Proposed Meeting Goals:

• strengthen family and community well-being by addressing social drivers of health (SDOH) with peer support groups/life skills classes, especially in zip codes with high density Medicaid/SoonerCare members;
• encourage communities to implement peer support groups/life skills classes with trained facilitators (frontline family engagement specialists, case managers, health navigators, family advocates, community health workers, behavioral health aides, parents as teachers, family support providers, peer recovery support specialists, counselors, etc.);
• discuss sample partnership agreements https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yPoG4aGR8dfKAKYxuFWP_-lZw_ss1y7V/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=102895141314219214041&rtpof=true&sd=true to increase collaboration and reduce costs of peer support groups;
• discuss shared data and measurement tools (sample tools https://fs27.formsite.com/a34qO0/karddnch4j/index.html);
• support new and experienced facilitators by sharing best practices together, create a shared google drive https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1cF84cA5CyA4lOAW5IxXpZw5y1g4fQEke?usp=sharing, and provide opportunities for collaboration and resources

What is a peer support group?
1) Reduces Sources of Stress/Removes Barriers for Participation;
provides weekly family meal, child care, stipend, and transportation if needed
2) Supports Responsive Relationships and Environments;
8–12 people meet weekly for 18 weeks to build authentic relationships that last beyond graduation
3)Strengthens Core Life Skills;
Over 4-5 months, two trained facilitators use a curriculum that builds executive functioning skills in 11 domains

• Jennifer Colbert
Social Drivers of Health - Community Facilitator
• Treasure McKenzie, Muskogee Bridges
• Adrienne Elder, MPH
Director of Interagency Special Projects

Qualities of a Facilitator:

• Facilitators agree on the philosophy, concepts and underlying principles that allow flexibility, yet consistency in how the program information is presented.
• A facilitator investigates his/her own life while program participants investigate theirs.
• Facilitators are both open-minded and compassionate.
• Facilitators have a sincere desire to see others succeed.
• Facilitators ask thought-provoking questions, but do not supply any answers.
• Facilitators do not disrupt the learning experience of others.
• Facilitators recognize the value of the gifts, talents, knowledge, insights and leadership that people experiencing adversity can offer.
• Facilitators are the biggest advocates for graduates.
