Certified Peer Recovery Specialist Training

This RI Department of Behavioral Healthcare, Developmental Disabilities, and Hospitals 46-hour Certified Peer Recovery Specialist (CPRS) training is designed to prepare individuals with lived experience in mental health or substance use recovery to support others. The curriculum focuses on four core domains: advocacy, mentoring and education, recovery and wellness support, and ethical responsibility.

By offering insight into the recovery process based on their own experience, peer recovery specialists are able to provide a unique perspective while providing recovery support services. The CPRS is not a sponsor, case manager, or a therapist, but rather a role model, mentor, advocate, and motivator.
