If you have lived experience with mental health or substance use challenges and a passion for helping others, you may be an ideal candidate to become a Certified Recovery Peer Specialist (CRPS).
As a CRPS, you’ll use your personal recovery journey to inspire hope, foster connection, and support others as they work toward wellness. With specialized training, you’ll play a powerful and unique role in the behavioral health field.
CRPS professionals:
- Offer support grounded in lived experience, building trust, empathy, and understanding.
- Work alongside therapists and behavioral health teams, adding a vital peer perspective to care.
- Help individuals set recovery goals, build on their strengths, and navigate life’s challenges.
- Promote empowerment and self-direction, encouraging people to take charge of their recovery.
If you’re ready to turn your experience into purpose and make a lasting impact, becoming a CRPS could be your next step.
