About Me - Summary
I have been a peer support specialist for 5 years. I have almost 8 years of continuous recovery. I have been involved in recovery aspects of 12 step programs for a very long time. I have working knowledge of most 12 step programs, Recovery Dynamics, Celebrate Recovery, Life Line, and Clean Sober Saved. I am well acclimated with the matrix material as I have used this from the beginning in my peer support groups. I have worked as peer support in multiple residential centers and in outpatient. I believe that I would be a great asset to this team.
