CPSS Professional Development
UAPSS is committed to strengthening Utah’s peer support workforce at every stage of the CPSS journey. We focus on developing real-world skills, ethical practice, and sustainable peer careers—because peer support doesn’t stop at certification.
We proudly partner with Utah’s Office of Substance Use and Mental Health (OSUMH), along with recovery agencies and community partners across the state, to ensure peer support specialists are well-trained, up-to-date, and well-supported. UAPSS offers weekly peer check-in sessions, monthly specialty trainings, and continuing education (CEU) opportunities designed to support growth, connection, and long-term success. And yes—there’s always more coming.
