The Veterans Peer Course is a 16-hour training focusing on providing individuals with the skills needed to guide, mentor and support military service members and veterans who would like to enter into or sustain long-term recovery from a substance use disorder, with alcohol or other substances, and mental health issues as a result of military service. This course prepares participants by helping them to actively listen, ask good questions, and discover and manage their own stuff while serving others.
