More than 3,000 Peers have now been certified in the Medi-Cal Certified Peer Support Specialist program that CalMHSA began in 2022. In 2023, we surveyed certified Peer workers across the state and received wide support and appreciation for the difference the certification has made for them personally and professionally. The video here includes just a few of those comments.
