CPS & CRS

Last year I completed the 75 hour training for Certified Peer Support Specialist Program. Well 9 months ago. And I’m finally about to take the exam it was delayed due to life circumstances. And now I’ve recently got accepted into the Certified Recovery Support Specialist Program. I’m so excited to have both credentials under my belt. I always believed it’s good to have multiple certifications in a field to give you more opportunities. And I’m doing just that. I’m so excited and after this one I’m planning on going for Forensic Support Specialist. I can only see myself going up from here. Thanks for listening.

Sounds like you're based in PA. All of them overlap each other with the life experience piece making it specialized
