| Peer Support Training
The North Dakota Department of Human Services’ Behavioral Health Division is offering two FREE Peer Support Specialist Trainings this summer!
WHAT is the Peer Support Specialist Training?
The North Dakota Department of Human Services’ Behavioral Health Division has brought in Appalachian Consulting Group’s (ACG) curriculum for peer specialist training, which is a person-centered, goals-oriented, strengths-based curriculum. It is based on the belief that setting a person-centered goal is the heart of the recovery process. Recovery is the process of gaining and maintaining control over one’s life – and the direction one wants that life to go – on the other side of a mental health diagnosis, substance use disorder, and all of the losses associated with those challenges. Attendees will learn the core competencies, roles, and tools of conducting Peer Support Specialist work in their communities.
WHO should attend?
· A person who has lived experience in their recovery from mental illness and/or substance use disorder who is 18 years of age or older.
· A person who is committed to helping others.
· A person who is willing to publicly identify as a person living in recovery for the purpose of educating, role modeling, and providing hope to others about the reality of recovery.
WHEN is the training?
You do not need to attend both.
