Certified Peer Support Specialist is a person who has progressed in their own recovery from mental illness that they have successfully completed the certification course and examination required of their state. Because of their life experience they provide expertise that professional training cannot replicate. Individuals who are functioning as Peer Support Specialists serving beneficiaries with mental illness must meet MDCH (Michigan Department of Community Health) specialized training and certification requirements. Peer specialists who assist in the provision of a covered service must meet the aide qualifications and be trained and supervised by the qualified provider for that service. Peer Specialists who provide covered services without supervision must meet the specific provider qualifications.
