A message from The P.E.E.R. Center’s Executive Director Juliet Dorris-Williams
Peer Recovery Support is an integral component to promote recovery, wellness and resiliency for individuals with a lived experience with mental health challenges and substance use disorders.
Over the past few years, Ohio’s behavioral health services have been incorporating Peer Recovery Support into the workplace. OhioMHAS has partnered with The P.E.E.R. Center to support Ohio agencies with technical assistance by providing, “Implementation of Peer Supporters in the Work Place” trainings.

EFFECTIVE JANUARY 2020:
All PRS Trainings are hosted and organized by our community partners at the local level. Our community partners may include Mental Health and Recovery Boards, Peer Run Organizations, and Behavioral Health Providers. The local host of each training will determine the registration process. You are not required to submit an application or materials to OhioMHAS until you apply for certification as a Peer Recovery Supporter (after you complete training and pass your online exam). For a list of available trainings, and contact information for each training, view the 40-hour in-person PRS Training Calendar.
