Peer University is a no-cost program that provides 20 contact hours recognized by the North Carolina Certified Peer Support Specialist board.
This program provides a toe dip into the world of peer support, exploring topics such as peer support 101, harm reduction, recovery messaging, motivational interviewing, verbal de-escalation, resource navigation, and more.
Incarceration, substance use and mental health challenges are typically seen as barriers to employment and economic stability. Peer University helps remove barriers by providing a pathway to not just a job, but a profession. In other words, your record is your resume!
THIS IS NOT THE 50-HOUR COURSE REQUIRED FOR CERTIFICATION.
For certification or recertification, you will be required to take 3 hours of ethics and boundaries on the NCCPSS website.
