Certified Peer Support Services (CPC/CPSS)
Certified peer specialists (CPSs) work with adults and youth and the parents of children receiving mental health or substance use disorder services. They draw upon their experiences to help peers find hope and support their recovery. The peer’s own life experience uniquely equips them to provide support, encouragement, and resources to persons with mental health and/or substance use challenges.
Peer specialists work in various settings such as community clinics, peer run organizations, hospitals, crisis teams and more. Certified peer counselors, under the supervision of a behavioral health professional, and as part of a health care team, may:
- Assist you or your family in identifying services and activities that promote recovery and lead to increased meaning and purpose.
- Assist you and your family in developing your own goals.
- Promote personal responsibility for recovery.
- Assist in a wide range of services to help you regain control and success in your life
- Serve as an advocate.
- Promote leadership and advocacy.
- Support individuals to express their dreams, strengths, and assets that encourage self-direction and choice.
- Assist in navigating the service system including assisting with engagement and bridging during transitions in care.
- Facilitate recovery groups.
- Share their own recovery stories that are relevant and helpful in overcoming the obstacles individuals and families are facing.
