Our Peer Support Specialist Certification program will equip you with essential behavioral health support skills. You will be trained on the 17 Core Competencies needed to receive the Medi-Cal Peer Support Specialist Certification. The course includes training in social justice, peer values, enhancing self-advocacy skills, self-reflection, hands-on exercises, and group collaboration.

If you are ready to make the commitment, this training can open doors to a career in behavioral health counseling that can last a lifetime. Think about this training as an investment in your future and see yourself helping others through the same or similar challenges you’ve already faced.

SCCC will prepare you for the Medi-Cal Peer Support Specialist Certification Exam. You will receive training in the essential skills of empathy and understanding. These skills are necessary for you to guide peers through their recovery journeys.

When you complete the 80-hour training you will receive a completion certificate. The certificate will be included in your application to take the Medi-Cal Peer Support Specialist Certification Exam.
