Thank you for your interest in Lightworks Recovery’s November 2026 CPRS Training. In this training, we focus on engagement skills, the core competencies and ethics of peer support, and the current behavioral health workplace. The training takes place in a virtual classroom setting, over 8 days. It includes group conversations, breakout exercises, and peer support role play. If you are on fire with the power of recovery and hear the call to help others who are still struggling, then this is the training for you. It’s life-changing!
