CPRS TRAINING
Free Training, Every Week
Yes – you heard that right! We are ruthlessly committed to increasing access to recovery services and understand that the shortage of qualified professionals who can help is a massive barrier. To address this, Refocus Recovery offers accredited training to become a Certified Peer Recovery Specialist at NO COST.
Do you have at least one year of personal sustained recovery? While it’s not required for training, you must have 1+ years of personal sustained recovery to become certified.
Certified Peer Recovery Training
- Training sessions include 46 hours of instruction and are delivered over 5, or 7 days (depending on your preference) .
- During the class you will explore:
- The roles and functions of a CPRS
- How another person’s perception of themselves and the world is unique
- How to foster a safe place for clients to share without the fear of judgement or shame
- Developing strong, healthy relationships and connections between people with different view points
- How to use your new skills in practice
- Once you have completed the session you will be prepared to take the Minnesota Certification Board exam and earn your CPRS designation
- You are now ready to work as a CPRS

Due to the high number of training applications and the limited amount of space in each training session, please read the following:
Rescheduling your originally selected class may result in being prioritized lower with being accepted to a training session.
If you reschedule multiple times, you will be placed at a low priority for any future CPRS training sessions.
If you do not reschedule and are a “no-show” for a training session, you may be restricted from being able to attend a CPRS training with Refocus Recovery.
