Description

CRPA Certificate required. Peer Support Specialist responsibilities include conducting support meetings, developing recovery strategies, and responding to patient emergencies as needed. Ultimately, you will work directly with patients to help them address substance abuse and mental health disorders while they are at our healthcare facility.

What is the role of a Crpa?

 
Peer support services are an important part of the treatment and recovery process. Certified Recovery Peer Advocates (CRPAs) draw from personal experience with substance use, and professional training to provide non-clinical support services as identified in the patient's treatment or recovery plan.
