Peer Coaching Recovery Services
The Peer Mentor/Peer Recovery Coach Designation (PM/PRC) standardizes qualifications of those working in peer recovery support within the field of chemical dependency, mental health, and/or co-occurring disorders.
GF1 Peer Mentor/Peer Recovery Coaches strive to produce a process of change in which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential.
We work towards change by promoting recovery, removing barriers, connecting recoverees with recovery support services, and encouraging hope, optimism, and healthy living.
GF1 Peer Mentor/Peer Recovery Coaches are certified by the Texas Certification Board of Addiction Professionals (TCBAP) in concert with the Texas Department of State Health Services.
