I am quite excited! i just finished my application to be a Certified Peer Specialist for the state of Idaho.
It is a position that employs those with mental illness to mentor and teach others who are going through recovery. It would certify me to work within the state teaching others about recognizing their triggers and managing their illnesses with various coping mechanisms.
I just found out about this position recently and think it would be the perfect occupation for me. I absolutely love to teach and am already doing my art therapy classes. This would give me more tools and chances to expand my reach of people I can help. Please pray that I get accepted! Its a five day training in Boise and only two people from each district are chosen. So the competition is fierce.
