Virtual Workshop for Peer Certification Scholarship Application – Sep. 7, 2022

The California Mental Health Services Authority (CalMHSA) has begun its initial certification process for peer support specialists and is also offering scholarships to cover application, training, and examination fees associated with that process. To help guide potential applicants through the scholarship application process, LACDMH will hold a virtual workshop on Sept. 7 from 1:30 to 3 p.m. During the workshop, LACDMH staff and peers who have successfully completed their applications will share tips on the process and answer questions from attendees.

For more information about this workshop, the peer certification process, and/or scholarship application, please email PeerCertProgram@dmh.lacounty.gov.

(Please note that the scholarship application is due on Friday, Sept. 16, and CalMHSA is currently only accepting applicants referred by County behavioral health agencies – including LACDMH – for the initial certification process.)
