A panel discussion exploring the history, evolution, and future of the peer workforce in New Jersey’s mental health and addiction recovery systems. Featuring leaders and advocates in the field, this conversation will trace how peer support developed in NJ, why peer certifications were created, and how lived experience has shaped recovery-oriented services across the state. Panelists will share their journeys into peer work and offer insight into the creation and growth of key certifications, including Certified Recovery Support Practitioner (CRSP) and Certified Peer Recovery Support (CPRS). The panel will also examine the challenges in training, supervision, certification, and workforce support, and discuss what changes may be needed to strengthen peer roles moving forward.
