🧭 Peer certification

Peer Support Specialist Certification by State

One page per state, each built from that state’s own rules, certifier applications and Medicaid provisions: who certifies peers, the training and supervised hours, the exam, the lived-experience rule, criminal-history bars, and how Medicaid pays for peer services.

States appear here as their pages are verified.
