Welcome to the Wisconsin Peer Specialist Employment Initiative.

   
     Wisconsin Certified Peer Specialists (CPS) are persons who have not only lived the experience of mental illness but also have had formal training in the peer specialist model of mental health supports for adults.  They use their unique set of recovery experiences in combination with solid skills training to support peers who have mental illness.  Peer Specialists actively incorporate peer support into their work while working within an
