Spanish Speaking Peer Recovery Training

Our Spanish Peer Recovery Coach Training course helps break barriers and remove health disparities. It is the first fully Spanish-speaking peer recovery coach training in the nation. The course is a five-day learning series with 30 CEs and provides CES in the IC & RC Four Performance Domains.
