Cultural and Linguistic Competence in Peer Recovery Support (2 CE Hours)
This comprehensive 2-hour training equips Certified Recovery Peer Specialists (CRPS) with the essential skills to navigate the complex intersection of culture, language, and recovery. Moving beyond basic definitions, this course explores how cultural humility and linguistic responsiveness directly impact engagement, retention, and recovery outcomes. Participants will examine their own cultural lenses, learn to mitigate barriers related to historical trauma and systemic oppression, and acquire practical strategies for supporting diverse populations—including Latin American, Asian American, Arab American, and Native American communities—ensuring that peer support is equitable, accessible, and person-centered.
