Recovery Focused Peer Support Training

Monday, April 12, 20219:00 amFriday, April 16, 20215:00 pm

This curriculum is the first of its kind in the state of North Carolina with the primary focus being on recovery from substance use disorders. There is also a significant amount of material in the curriculum which will cover cooccurring mental health conditions and its connection to substance use disorders. We believe those who take this training will be better able to be of service as Peer Support Specialists to those struggling with substance use disorders and will be more aware of their own needs for selfcare and support.

Cost is $350

This is an in-person training. Enrollment is limited. Adherence to social distancing will be maintained.
