Make your next step practical
1. Check your state’s requirements
Confirm eligibility and accepted training with your certifying body before enrolling or paying. Requirements differ by role and state.
2. Talk with a training provider
Ask about approved courses, costs, scholarships, supervision, accessibility, and what happens after training.
3. Hear from working peers
Ask about day-to-day work, boundaries, and support for peer workers. Learning about the role does not commit you to it.
