Which practice supports collaborative decision-making with peers?

• A. Dismiss the peer's perspective
• B. Explore alternatives and options
• C. Withdraw from conversation
• D. Enforce PRS option

Answer: (B)

Collaborative decision-making with peers means inviting their voice, validating lived experience, and shaping a plan together. Exploring alternatives and options is the best approach because it keeps the conversation open, shows respect for what the peer wants for their recovery, and helps identify a path that balances practical considerations with the peer’s goals. By discussing different choices, you can weigh benefits and drawbacks, align with the peer’s values, and reach a shared plan that the peer feels ownership of. Dismissing a peer’s perspective, withdrawing from the conversation, or forcing a single option without discussion stops meaningful collaboration and can undermine trust and empowerment in the recovery process.
