Certified Peer Specialist (CPS) Training
Certified Peer Specialist Training:
Beginning in March of 2018, the Missouri Credentialing Board, in partnership with the Department of Mental Health, began training and credentialing peers across the state with one standard curriculum, providing them with the tools they need to use their personal story to provide support to all individuals in recovery from substance use, mental health, or co-occurring disorders. Basic training for peers has been and will continue to be free of charge.
