What is a Certified Peer Support Specialist? CPSS
Certified Peer Support Specialists use their own lived experience with mental health or substance use challenges to support others on their recovery journey. They work with individuals and families to offer hope, understanding, and guidance, helping peers build resilience and achieve their goals.
