Mental Health Recovery Board of Clark, Greene & Madison Counties is pleased to announce that we are hosting the Ohio Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) 40-hour in-person Peer Recovery Supporter (PRS) Training, beginning May 18, 2026! Registration for the DBH PRS Training is coordinated through Ohio Peer Recovery Organizations (OhioPRO). Below please find the information needed to register through OhioPRO.

Training Hours: 8:30am – 5:00pm

There will be a 30 minute lunch break; lunch will be provided.

The DBH 40-hour PRS Training is a live, interactive training that teaches prospective Certified Peer Recovery Supporters (CPRS) who self-identify as being in recovery from a mental health or substance use disorder to use their experience to help their Peers with the same lived experience. Prospective CPRS will engage in role-play activities and learn the skills necessary to offer high quality Peer Support. Upon successful completion of PRS training, prospective CPRS will be eligible to apply for Adult Peer Recovery Supporter Certification in Ohio. To attend training, you must be personally in recovery from a mental health and/or substance use disorder and be willing to share your personal story appropriately in a group setting. Having a friend or family member in recovery will not qualify you to attend this training.

To register for the DBH PRS training, please complete the below 2 steps:

Please note that your spot in training is not confirmed until you have completed all requirements below and received an e-mail from OhioPRO offering you a spot in the training (you will have 5 days to accept your spot in the training). Spots in the training are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, as prospective CPRS complete the below requirements.:

STEP 1: Complete the free Ohio Learn 16-hour Peer Recovery Supporter Training Curriculum and save your completion certificate to your computer.

Visit this website to get started on the curriculum: https://dbh.ohio.gov/community-partners/peer-supporters/resources/ohio-learn. The curriculum takes approximately 16-20 hours to complete.
* Note: If you previously completed this coursework on eBased Academy, the eBased Academy 16-hour Certified Peer Recovery Supporter Training Learning plan completion certificate is also accepted.

ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS: Please note, to be eligible for certification, Ohio Administrative Code requires that prospective CPRS complete a full 40 hours of PRS Training. Due to each PRS training being unique and confidential, make-up time is not available for any reason (including illness, emergencies, medical appointments, childcare, court appointments, employment, etc.). If you miss training time, you will need to begin the PRS training again at a future training. Please register only if you have no outside obligations, personal or professional, during training hours.

🌿 Self‑Care Idea of the Week 🌿
Take 10 minutes today to step outside and do a “five senses” check‑in.
Pause and notice:
👀 one thing you can see
👂 one thing you can hear
✋ one thing you can feel
👃 one thing you can smell
👅 one thing you can taste
This small moment of mindfulness can help reset your nervous system and bring your attention back to the present—no special equipment required.
Self‑care doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes, slowing down is enough. 💚
