Certified Peer Specialist (CPS) Training
Beginning in March of 2018, the Missouri Credentialing Board, in partnership with the Department of Mental Health, began training and credentialing peers across the state with one standard curriculum, providing them with the tools they need to use their personal story to provide support to all individuals in recovery from substance use, mental health, or co-occurring disorders. Basic training for peers has been and will continue to be free of charge.

In 2021, our team at UMSL-MIMH along with a team of Certified Peer consultants developed a specialty series for Certified Peer Specialists. This series is available for FREE to Certified Peer Specialists to help them increase their knowledge beyond the first basic training course, gain continuing education, and work towards advanced peer credentialing.
You can take one or all of the courses at your own pace.
