Which statement NOT listed as an essential ongoing training topic for PSSs?

• A. Crisis intervention only.
• B. Cultural humility only.
• C. Trauma-informed care, cultural humility, ethics, confidentiality, crisis intervention, and recovery-oriented practices.
• D. None of the above.

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is that ongoing training for Peer Support Specialists should cover multiple, broad areas rather than be reduced to a single topic. In practice, the essential topics commonly identified include trauma-informed care, cultural humility, ethics, confidentiality, crisis intervention, and recovery-oriented practices.

The statement that lists all of these topics in one broad line is the one that isn’t treated as a separate listed item in the official materials. Training topics are typically described as individual modules or areas of competency, not as one gigantic combined item. So while those topics are indeed essential, the way this option presents them—as a single, lumped list—is not how they appear in the standard listings, making it the NOT-listed choice.

The other options present only one topic apiece, which is too narrow to be considered a complete listing of essential ongoing training topics, reinforcing why they don’t fit as the correct choice in this context.
