This year the Bureau of Substance Addiction Services (BSAS) is offering a 90% scholarship for a limited number of spots for BSAS-funded workforce members to be trained in the Group Peer Support (GPS) Model.
GPS for Wellness and Recovery enhances engagement in care and supports wellness and recovery while ensuring an excellent, consistent, and evidence-based structure. GPS Support Groups provide people with trauma-sensitive spaces where they can explore their personal history with substance use, addiction, generational trauma, and feelings of shame, guilt, and isolation that can be barriers to all pathways of recovery. Participants build communities of mutual respect and reclaim their self-esteem and courage as they travel on the road to recovery. GPS for Wellness and Recovery groups can be led by peer leaders and clinical providers. These groups effectively increase program capacity, ensure consistent clinical outcomes, and enhance other modalities of care.
