Kansas Certified Peer Mentoring Certification (SUD)

This training is a valuable resource for Peer workforce development. It is our desire and intention to continue to grow and strengthen our Peer workforce by making training accessible and consistent. Training occurs in two parts: Level One for certification as a Kansas Certified Peer Mentor in Training (KCPMT) which is an online, self-paced format and Level Two for certification as a Kansas Certified Peer Mentor, which is a 2-day training that will be offered up to 4 times per year in varying locations around the state.

The level one training will provide for a person with lived experience as a person in sustained SUD recovery to apply for certification as a Kansas Certified Peer Mentor in Training (KCPMT). Under the KCPMT certification, the Peer Mentor may provide up to 20 hours of billable services per week under the supervision requirements. The KCPMT certification is valid for one year from the date of issue. Within that year, the Peer Mentor must complete the level II Kansas Certified Peer Mentor (KCPM) training and make application for Certification as a KCPM. The Level II training can be taken after 90 days of supervision and once the supervisor of the KCPMT verifies that the KCPMT has shown competency to deliver peer support services. Upon Certification as a KCPM, the Peer Mentor may provide up to 30 billable hours of peer support services per week under the required supervision. Level I training is required for all persons before Level II training may be taken.

Downloadable application documents required for certification can be found under the Training documents section below. Once the completed application and required documents are submitted, reviewed, and approved by KDADS, the individual and their supervisor will receive their approval letter and the Certification document by email.
