How the Programs Work:
The Certified Peer Support Leader and Teammate programs are online, on-demand, self-paced training programs with a certification exam required at the end.
Access Timeline: Both programs allow access for 90 days from the date of enrollment, and you must begin, and complete, the training program within that time frame for the best learning and retention possible.
The Exam: After the 90 day program access ends, you will be enrolled in the examination and will have access for 30 days, with 2 attempts to pass. You must earn a 90% score or better in order to pass the examination and earn the certification.
WARNING: We have included some difficult videos and stories which may cause trauma or act as post-trauma triggers to the viewer. We recommend debriefing with your own clinician periodically throughout the program.

No matter where you are in your peer support team lifecycle, this training will help your peer support teammates, and leaders, to provide the very best possible support for their peers.
