I developed this course to certify individuals to help peers in mental health recovery. This is a 40-hour training, after which individuals are eligible for a certification from the Oregon Health Authority Traditional Health Worker program as a Peer Support Specialist.

​​

Some topics we cover:

• Vicarious trauma

• Facilitating social justice

• Trauma Informed Approach

• Wellness Recovery Action Plan

• Military Sexual Trauma

• Mental Health and the law

• Narrative Approach

• and more...

​

The next training session, "Warriors in Recovery: Forging an Alliance of Peers," is specific to Veterans and Military Service Members and will be held virtually in January 2025.​ All trainings are offered at no cost and available to people who live, work, or volunteer in the state of Oregon.

​
