How do I find a course in my area?

Peer-to-Peer currently exists in 31 states around the country and more states will begin to offer this important consumer education and recovery program.  To find a class near you visit our Peer-to-Peer Class Listing.

Who should I contact?

State Coordinator Contact List


How do I become a mentor?

Mentors are the heart and soul of the program- without skilled mentors, there would be no Peer to Peer!

Although most mentors have been through the course, this is not a prerequisite.

Mentors should have an active treatment plan, be comfortable reading aloud to a group of students, and be willing and able to undergo an intensive three-day training, among other qualifications.

How do I start the program in my area?
