About This Training
This one-hour training helps Recovery Support Peer Specialists deepen their ability to support peers during seasons of grief, loss, and emotional change. Rooted in peer values and lived experience, the session offers space to reflect, connect, and explore supportive, non-clinical ways of being present with others through difficult moments. Participants will engage in reflective activities and leave with practical tools they can use in their peer support work.
