Providers
and Resources
Stay tuned! Updates are coming.
Although NAPS is a partner in the development of a new curriculum for peer specialists
as part of the SAMHSA sponsored Recovery to Practice initiative, NAPS does not currently offer its own certified peer specialist training program.
NAPS encourages anyone interested in obtaining training to contact a recognized peer
specialist training organization (such as those listed below). While NAPS does not endorse any particular training, we strongly
urge peer specialists or other persons interested in becoming peer specialists to obtain peer specialist training from a reputable
organization. Many of those listed below also offer refresher training and continuing education for peer specialists.
Please note there is a Training Discussion Forum listed at the bottom of the page where
you can submit information or learn more about training activities that are happening in various places.)
