Roles
Primary role for AANA PAAC and SPAs is responding to CD helpline calls.
AANA PAAC helps ensure that each SPA is supported with the necessary skills and tools in place.
The SPA role should include building awareness within the state association of the peer support available and assisting with health and wellness education within the state
The AANA PAAC works with the SPAs or the state associations to build wellness advocacy within the states by being a resource for presentations and wellness activities.
