About this event
The Peer Recovery Support Specialist training is a 46-hour course that requires 40-hrs of group participation and 6-hrs of online independent learning through Connect for Recovery i.e. pretest, homework, and posttest. This course will provide you with the foundational knowledge and learning to understand what a PRSS is and what they are not, their role function, and how to perform and apply peer support services in a clinical and non-clinical work and/or volunteer environment.
The training covers the core competencies of peer recovery support specialists in four domains, including advocacy, mentoring and education, recovery and wellness support, and ethical responsibility; which will fulfill the Nevada Certification Board to receive a certification as a Certified Peer Recovery Support Specialist.
This course is in person from March 7-11, Monday-Friday from 8:30am – 5:00pm and is being offered at no cost to Nevada’s recovery community. A $5 deposit (plus fees) is required to hold your seat which will be refunded to you at the end of the class.
**Please note: All materials will be provided and attendance to all five days is required to complete the training and receive your certificate of completion.
*After successfully completing the course to qualify for your Nevada PRSS certification you must identify as a person in recovery from substance use and/or mental health and have two years of recovery.
