OhioMHAS is pleased to offer an opportunity to behavioral health clinicians and Peer Supporters to attend the 4-hour ONLINE Peer Supporter Supervision Training. In Ohio, this training is required, in addition to the 16 hours of E-Based Academy courses, for professionals who will be supervising certified Peer Supporters. Supervisors will develop an understanding of the role of peer supporters, the responsibilities of a supervisor, and effective supervision strategies. Please note, this training is not a certification. Individuals who supervise Peer Supporters must meet the minimum criteria outlined in Ohio Administrative Code: 5122-29-15.1

Please note, to receive credit for this training, you must be present and on camera for all 4 hour of the training. Training must be completed on a laptop or desktop computer. Participants will not be admitted to the Zoom training after 10:00 A.M. Several short breaks will be offered during the training.

To be eligible to supervise Peer Supporters in Ohio, in addition to meeting the qualification in Ohio Administrative Code, individuals must complete the below 11 eBased Academy courses. These are the same courses required for the Adult Peer Recovery Supporter (PRS) certification - if you are already certified as a PRS in Ohio, you do not need to repeat these courses. You are not required to submit certificates of completion for these courses into OhioMHAS. You will need to keep copies of the below 11 certificates of completion, along with your certificate of attendance for the 4-hour Peer Supporter Supervision Training, on file at your place of employment.

Please note, the below eBased Academy courses were revised June 5, 2022. If you completed the eBased Academy coursework prior to June 5, 2022, please refer to the previous titles (the previous title for each is noted beside each current course title). You must complete all 11 courses, however either title for each course will meet the requirement.
