Peer Specialist

80 Hour Immersive Resilience Training

​​

You don’t need a degree.
You don’t need credentials.
You need the guts to face your own fire — and the heart to help others do the same.

​

Every Peer Specialist we certify completes a minimum of 80-hours of training, to meet or exceed the training requirements for peer specialist within the Veterans Administration. 

 

As we build this out, we intend to create a military and first responder skillbridge for active duty servicemembers within 180 days of retirement or transition out. This is a structured scaffolding of support​​ built on what we already know, that Tier 1 operators listen to Tier 1 operators, Firefighters listen to Firefighters, Cops listen to Cops, Teachers listen to Teachers, etc. Peer support is central to disaster preparation, response, and recovery. Contact us to discuss how you can get involved.
