“Randy's CEU offerings make staying up to date with peer recovery work substantially easier to navigate. As a new and evolving field, there are many updates to navigate. Randy's courses provide an important combination of ease of access with a rigorous and engaging program that challenges our thinking. His work has improved my own practice in peer recovery, and I actively recommend his program to other peer recovery workers.” - David A.

 

“Having the opportunity to take the grant-funded continuing education classes through Bold North Recovery and Consulting enabled my organization to take significant strides toward becoming one that offers PRS training in our community. Without these course offerings, many of my staff wouldn’t be able to afford the necessary continuing education required for recertification. It has strengthened our workforce and improved our peer's preparedness and efficacy in the field. I highly recommend that funding for this project be extended to continue to provide this high-quality much-needed resource to our peer workforce.” - Tiffany Neuharth, RCP, CPRSR, LADC, Executive Director - Rise Up Recovery.

“I was delighted to have the opportunity for recertification & fees paid in full by the scholarship provided through Bold North Recovery. I was concerned I would not be able to attend training and pay for the recertification due to the exponential increase in cost-of-living expenses. I did not know how to fit it into my budget this year. Thanks to the available funding, I am relieved of the stressful concern.” - Carolyn N.

“Without this class I would have had to pay for my CEUs. Trying to figure out which ones would help me gave me anxiety. The CEUs my employer offers are directed at mental health and LADCs. It was also great to talk to other CPRS and see how they handle things in their role. I am super glad I was given the opportunity to take this class. Thanks Randy!” - Michelle Roy, CPRS

 

“The grant funding that was offered to me by Randy Anderson was an absolute blessing. Randy and Bold North communicated with me via telephone and scheduled me for all of my CEUs online, which was very helpful since our treatment team & field in general is so short staff. His trainings provided me the credits I will need to maintain my certification and continue to be of service of helping others. Before Randy reached out to me, I was struggling to find classes or trainings to get the CEUs I needed and felt really worried about what that would look like, if I didn’t locate trainings required. I feel so blessed for this opportunity.” - Chelsie Schwartz

“My name is Jonda Crum. I am a woman in long term recovery. January the 31st will be 6 years sober. I have been a CPRS for 3 years now. My first year of the CEUs was torture trying to get the CEUs ,pay for some, and work at the same time. Randy Anderson’s class was very convenient and very informative. I felt like with his classes I learned more than I have these past 3 years of scrambling to get my CEUs. Thank you.”

I know I benefit from these trainings, and the individuals I serve are direct recipients of those benefits, as well.” - Emily VanBallegooyen

 

“The Peer Recovery classes that Randy Anderson offers have been instrumental in gaining the needed CEUs towards recertification of my credentials.

Thank you.” - Jesse Kaplan, RCP, CPRSR, CPS
