Sure, peer support work has its rewards. But being a peer support specialist (PSS) can also be challenging, frustrating, and can, at times, make you sad. But there is always H.O.P.E.!

Unlike any training you’ll ever attend, NC - H.O.P.E. Peer Support Specialist Certification Training Program is an empowering and engaging professional development opportunity designed to prepare individuals for the 'real' world of peer support. Provided by V.O.I.C.E. Therapeutic Solutions of Raleigh, a leader in the field of therapeutic interventions, solutions, and education, NC - H.O.P.E. is about Helping Our Peers Excel.

Offering the most elite compilation of resources, guidance, research, and best practices available today, our training presents this valuable knowledge in one program to ensure your success in the work of Peer Support.  

Approved by the state of North Carolina and taught by seasoned peer support specialists, certified in the work, this training covers a range of topics, including self-care and wellness, commitment to recovery, and the responsibilities of peer support. After the basics, we focus on interacting with peers from different backgrounds and lifestyles; cultural competence; learning effective communication skills; building solid relationships; and assisting peers, service members, and families who have experienced trauma.
