Our training department develops curriculum to educate the recovery community, family members, providers, law enforcement, and the general public about substance use recovery and public health. Our 46-hour peer recovery support specialist (prss) training is recognized by the nevada certification board and prepares nevadans to earn the credential of a certified prss. In the prss role, those with lived experience with behavioral health disorders mentor others that are seeking support with their substance use and/or mental health. Ffr also offers continuing education classes, prss supervision curriculum, overdose prevention, and community organizing trainings. Number of people who completed the prss certification training in 2024: 116

In 2024 the foundation for recovery launched the recovery works supported employment program for members of the recovery clubhouse with the goal of providing job-ready certification trainings and individual career counseling with continued behavioral health support. In 2024, 13 individuals were accepted into the inaugural program and 92% successfully gained employment. In addition to providing direct career support services to members, the program provides education and training to nevada employers. Upon successful completion of the training program, employers earn a designation as a recovery friendly workplace and are connected to qualified candidates graduating from the recovery works supported employment program. In 2024, over 25 new employers completed the training program and earned their designation from the governor's office as a recovery friendly workplace.
