The Minnesota Certification Board is offering a new online interactive training on opioids developed for peer specialists. It has three modules:

·         Lesson One: History and Overview of the Opioid Epidemic

·         Lesson Two: A Brief Overview of the Types and Effects of Opioids

·         Lesson Three: Opioid Use Disorder Treatment and Recovery

Peer specialists who successfully complete the courses will be awarded three Minnesota Certification Board-approved continuing education units and a personalized completion certificate. While the training is designed for peer specialists, any interested party can participate.

To register, visit mcboard.org/opioid-training-for-peers and follow the directions for registration. This training allows you to begin a course, take a break, and come back and finish without needing to start over.
