We use a 3-step approach including a core 3-day Community Participation and Peer Support course. A key focal point of implementation is the support, development and training of the peer support workforce. With the increasing awareness of the positive relationship between self-directed community participation, recovery and quality of life, we have developed this peer support certification course as a vehicle to develop and define critical roles and responsibilities for the peer support workforce to support the recovery and increased community participation for individuals receiving services in the public mental health system.

This series of 3 weekly sessions will provide training to support PRSS MH dual certification applications. Participants must attend and fully participate in all sessions and breakout sessions to receive a certificate of completion. Includes total of 18 contact hours. If attendees complete this training they will be eligible to become a facilitator of the curriculum by taking an additional Facilitator training with us at a later date.
