If you have lived experience with mental health or substance use conditions, trauma or incarceration and you want to help others with similar experiences, have you thought about becoming a peer specialist?

Peer specialists are trained and certified to provide peer support in a variety of settings. They help people develop goals, create strategies for self-empowerment, and take steps towards building fulfilling, self-determined lives.

The first step to becoming certified in Texas is to complete the Core Training. Applications are now open for the December 3rd - 5th training with Via Hope. Learn more: viahope.org/event/core-training-19
