Peer Support Learning for the 21st Century

An approved Medi-Cal Peer Support Specialist Certification Training

The “Peer Support Learning for the 21st Century” is an 80-hour training course for individuals who have a lived personal and/or family member recovery experience from mental illness, addiction, and/or trauma. The competency-based PSL course is highly engaging, interactive, skill-centered and, in many ways, provides for a life changing experience. This course will prepare participants to master peer support competencies. During the skill-based class sessions, students will interact with fellow classmates as they practice peer support with fellow participants. They will receive ongoing and just-in-time coaching feedback on their performance of newly learned peer support skills. The overall learning experience utilizes adult learning principles to optimize retention and skill transfer to the workplace.

Watch: How we do our training

We believe…

Behavioral health services are not merely treating mental health issues and/or addiction challenges, but are mostly about supporting and empowering people to live happy, healthy, and meaningful lives as contributors in their communities.
