Peer Support Professionals are individuals who identify themselves as in recovery: living with a mental illness diagnosis, history of trauma, and/or history of addiction. They may also be a family member of someone who meets that definition. Peer support specialists bring a different perspective when it comes to recovery and helping others through their own journeys. Being able to empathize and empower others at various stages in recovery with personal experiences is what makes Peer Support such an important part of the recovery journey and its success.
This class qualifies attendees to work as paid peer support specialists and to apply to become a Certified Peer Support Specialist. This training is provided at no cost through support from the Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority and the State of Alaska Division of Behavioral Health.
When: March 8 through April 5, 2025 – Every SATURDAY for 5 weeks on Zoom, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm
