I take 54 hours of training each year from DBH, CFSA and TCP
Each year it's required that I take 54 hours of training from the different agencies that I mention to keep up with my certification as a Family and Individual Peer Specialist. I am also a Recovery Coach. I must maintain 22 hours of training for CFSA in order to keep my licensing from early expiration as a TIPP and then I must turn in 32 certificates of training to TCP in order to work for the Coalition for the Homeless therefore it helps me to maintain my professionalism and keep me knowledgeable in the field.
