ATTENTION: Important Update
We are pleased to announce that the National Certified Peer Specialist (NCPS) credential has been relocated to a new website – National Certification Board for Behavioral Health Professionals.
The NCPS is an advanced credential that highlights the critical knowledge and skills necessary for peer specialists who support individuals in achieving and maintaining recovery from mental health conditions or other behavioral health challenges.
As peer specialists, your lived experience is invaluable in fostering trust and understanding with those you support. While each recovery journey is unique, the NCPS credential ensures that you possess the specific competencies required to advocate for, mentor, and support recovery in an ethical and professional manner.
Please note that the NCPS credential is intended for individuals who already hold state-level credentials and seek to demonstrate advanced competency in the field. It does not replace state credentials but serves as an additional certification for those with significant work experience in peer services.
To learn more about the NCPS credential and to navigate to the new location, please visit the National Certification Board for Behavioral Health Professionals website.
Thank you for your continued commitment to supporting recovery.
