ARE YOU READY FOR THE NEXT STEP IN YOUR PEER SUPPORT CAREER? Take Recovery Opportunity Centers; ADVANCED PEER PRACTICES online training course.
After training more
than 3000 peers in our Peer Employment Training course and integrating our workforce to include almost 70% peer employees,
we developed an advanced class for peers who are ready to “step up” and move to a more sophisticated way of working.
This is not about clinical skills, but rather about learning how to use one’s inherent skills and knowledge more
purposefully and intentionally. This advanced study
of peer support work educates participants in how to take their work to a new level. At the advanced level
of peer support the participants can take on new challenges and succeed in meaningful outcomes for themselves and the people
they serve. Click the link below for a copy of the registration form

Featured SAMHSA Resource - Financing Recovery
Support Services
In these economic times, you may wonder - how do you finance peer support programs?
A publication from SAMHSA may have some answers. Although a March 2010 report entitled "Financing Recovery Support Services"
focuses on substance abuse support, the profiles of innovative funding strategies are equally applicable to mental health
settings. For a free download of the report (50 pages), go to: http://partnersforrecovery.samhsa.gov/docs/rss_financing_report.pdf
Pillars of Peer Support (Recommendations from States with Peer Specialist Programs)
A wonderful background
paper for anyone interested in peer support should read "Pillars of Peer Support." It is a report resulting from
a Carter Center summit and provides wonderful information about what states are doing in regard to peer support. It is a free
download at: www.pillarsofpeersupport.org
