Peer recovery is an individualized journey that offers a unique perspective and understanding of the difficulties associated with substance use disorder and its impact. Peer Recovery Support Specialists (PRSS) are an essential component to the Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) Continuum of Care.
Through shared understanding and respect, PRSS staff help link individuals to treatment and encourage them to stay engaged in the recovery process.
The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources, Bureau for Behavioral Health is hosting quarterly regional PRSS trainings to provide educational opportunities on important issues pertaining to addiction and recovery. The trainings will provide more “tools in their toolbox” when working with individuals in recovery.
Each participant will receive a copy of the agenda and a training certificate which can be used toward certification hours if approved by their respective credentialing boards or agencies. Registration is required.
The Hub offers training opportunities for individuals who either already serve in a peer coach support role or have interest in becoming a certified Peer Recovery Support Specialists (PRSS).
