The Ashtabula County Mental Health and Recovery Services Board is pleased to announce that we will be hosting the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OhioMHAS) 40-hour ONLINE Peer Recovery Supporter (PRS) Training!

The OhioMHAS 40-hour PRS Training is a live, interactive training that teaches prospective Certified Peer Recovery Supporters (CPRS) who self-identify as being in recovery from a mental health or substance use disorder to use their experience to help their Peers with the same lived experience. Prospective CPRS will engage in role-play activities and learn the skills necessary to offer high quality Peer Support. Upon successful completion of PRS training, perspective CPRS will be eligible to apply for Adult Peer Recovery Supporter Certification in Ohio.

To attend training, you must be personally in recovery from a mental health and/or substance use disorder and be willing to share your personal story appropriately in a group setting. Having a friend or family member in recovery will not qualify you to attend this training.
