Peer Support Certification

“I just completed the 5 week peer support class and it was such a great experience! Amanda and Brent made every class fun and interesting. The support we received was great, as well as the bonds we formed with our peers in class. I would take the class again if I could! Thank you Brent and Amanda!!! You guys are amazing!”

“First off I want to thank SRC for giving this amazing opportunity to help affect change into the community. As an employee here i wanted to know how to best serve our clients in any possible way i could. I was blessed to have an opportunity to be enrolled in their Peer Support Program. I want to give a BIG SHOUT OUT to Amanda Ostrow and Brent Bell for their amazing facilitation of the course. The way they had everyone engaged and kept everyone excited as we learned the tools necessary to provide support to one’s peer was such a great experience. I’ve learned so much during this training and I’m thankful to finally have my PSS Certification.”

“Taking Peer Support at Scottsdale Recovery Center^® was a great experience! The course information was delivered in a way that was both interesting and thought provoking. The instructor was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the material. I really appreciated the way we were encouraged to collaborate and interact with others in the class. I have been able to apply much of what I learned both inside and outside of the treatment center where I work. I highly recommend taking Peer Support at SRC!”

“This was a great experience, and I am going to take the information learned with me into my daily personal and professional life. It was comprehensive and interactive. I really enjoyed Thursday nights at Scottsdale Recovery Center.”

“The peer support class taught by SRC was phenomenal. I really enjoyed every class. I took this class with no intention of working in treatment, but to help me better understand and connect with my clients as a light worker who are struggling with grief. It has made me better at being able to communicate with them. I’m really glad I took the class and will enjoy continuing to use what they taught me.”

“I would recommend this class to any person looking to improve their skills whether first entering the field or anyone already in the field to expand their skills.”

“I wanted to just say the peer support class was so informative. I have a lot of experience in the substance abuse and mental health field – and I learned a lot. I am excited to bring what i learned into my counseling session.”

“Thanks for your instruction during the peer support training certification class. I found overall that I learned a great deal about interpersonal relationships by attending the course. My hope is to gain employment in the treatment industry. I can use the skills I acquired over the past two and a half months to successfully treat clients and other peers with dignity and success.”

“Recovery and behavioral health work is just as much hard work as it is heart work. And there’s nothing like learning with a passionate and proven industry leaders to prepare as well as inspire you to do both.”

“Throughout the Peer Support course, a wide range of topics related to being a peer support specialist were covered.  Our instructor had extensive knowledge and an informative approach provided us with valuable insights into almost anything one would need to know about this field.  I genuinely enjoyed every moment. Time seemed to fly by effortlessly.”

“My experience at Scottsdale Recovery Center^® was definitely one I will remember, each study session was very welcoming, and my fellow peers were very supportive of my attendance and success in Peer Support Certification course completion. I can’t remember the last time I felt this excited in life, like I gained another purpose in life, something to wake up to and from here I feel nothing but passion in the path and direction you have helped me discover, again a purpose in life I am happy to say! ”

“As a recent graduate of the 5 week “Peer Support Specialist” training class taken at Scottsdale Recovery Center, which was an awesome and eye-opening training program that allowed me to gain a better understanding of myself along with the “Do’s and Don’ts” of what the role entails for becoming a well-informed and supportive Peer Support Specialist.  There is a wealth of knowledge and abundance of information that is reviewed and discussed during these training classes. I would highly encourage and recommend anyone that is thinking about obtaining this Peer Support certification to take the needed steps to take this fabulous training program.  It was actually the highlight of the week for me each week going to this Peer Support Training class!”
