WOW, what an incredible 2025 Certified Peer Specialist Award Ceremony!

On June 31st, 2025, we packed the house at the Museum of Science for our Annual Certified Peer Specialist Award Ceremony, and let us tell you, the energy was electric!

Huge shoutout to our incredible partners at the Museum of Science for hosting us in one of the most iconic spots in Boston. Also special thank you to Massachusetts Department of Mental Health and MassHealth who fund our state certification training program and support us in certifying more Certified Peer Specialists every year! We appreciate your recognition that Certified Peer Specialists are invaluable to the healthcare system!

To our brilliant event organizers, thoughtful panelists, and our all-star MC, you brought the heart, the soul, and the rhythm to every moment. We couldn’t have done it without you!

And of course… CONGRATULATIONS to this year’s phenomenal award winners!

You are the change agents that keeps this movement moving.

From lifetime legends to rising stars, we celebrated the folks redefining what mental health support really looks like, peer-led, person-centered, and rooted in lived experience.

Already counting down to next year.
