CAMHPRO's Peer Action League (PAL) presents the Southern Regional ONLINE Forum partnered with Orange County Health Care Agency & Peer Voices of Orange County on
October 5 & 6, 9-11:30am ONLINE
This forum is an opportunity to learn more about national, state and regional peer best practices, and benefits for counties to opt in for the new Medi-CAL Peer Support Specialist Certification Program with the deadline of 11.19.21 for year 2021/22. Participants will hear from state and local subject matter experts on the intersection of the peer vision and social justice and will explore the unique needs of diverse groups on a panel of diverse regional communities. We will be enlightened with presentations on how some counties/agencies are manifesting the vision to meet those diverse needs and finally we will take part in collaborative action planning for the future of peer support and better outcomes.
