“The Certified Peer Specialist (CPS) is credential for individuals with personal, lived experience in their own recovery. Peer support services are an important component in recovery-oriented systems of care. By offering insight into the recovery process based on their own experience, peer specialists are able to provide a unique perspective to those with similar experiences.”
Read More +As a CPS, an individual accepts and agrees that their experience as a person in recovery will be known by their colleagues, persons served, and others with whom they may share that they have achieved this credential. The role of the CPS reflects a collaborative and strength-based approach. Services provided by the CPS are a critical component of the continuum of care services that will substantially improve an individual’s ability to sustain recovery and wellness. The Certified Peer Specialist credential is for persons with serious mental health or cooccurring (mental health & substance use disorder) lived experience.”
