RRPS (Recovery & Mentorship)

Announcing: the release of our Peer support training model based on the Radical Recovery Peer Support series. RRPS Recovery and Mentorship is a program that goes beyond just teaching how to use lived experience to support others.

Yes, we show students how to capitalize on lived experience, but what do you do when your experience is based in mental health and Peers walk in having developed a substance use challenge, and what do you do when your substance recovery peers develop acute mental health challenges or crises?

Our program prepares you for that! It also talks about how to support people through an interaction with the legal system and possible charges, conviction, and jail time. Obviously this holds high value compared to typical programs where they mostly only discuss one type of challenge.

Our Program is Versatile

While our program is approved in both Florida and Nevada with slight differences in structure, it is also made to be versatile. It can be taken in bits and pieces and non consecutively so anyone can take the courses they need when they need them, even as continued education in the states previously mentioned, as well as in Pennsylvania and Texas!

• You can take the full 30 hour self paced course as well which is the base requirement for Florida initial certification,

  
  

  or:

  
  

• You could take all the self paced programs, minus the self paced ethics content (leaving you with 24 hours of self paced content) and take a live 2 day ethics class, and a Whole Health class instead to meet requirement for Nevada initial certification as a Peer support (CPRS).

Content Structure

If you took all classes live which we will begin to offer sometime around may of 2026,

you could take seminar 1, 2, 3, & 6 and the 8.5 hour self paced course to meet the requirements for Florida and Nevada. In Florida though you would need to do a Whole Health Program in addition, and we offer 4 of those!

The 8.5 hour self paced class focuses on a blend of crises support theory, cultural considerations, facilitation, person centered language, and core competencies.

The full self paced is 30 hours with the other Seminars mentioned above being about 3 to 6 hours each.

• Seminar 1 is about peer support history and the concept of mentorship,

• Seminar 2 is information about mental health and substance use, and also about supportive strategies for both,

• Seminar 3 is about forensic or criminal background support,

• Seminar 6 is ethics
