The purpose of CBAS is to expand the number of peer support staff and services by building the capacity of individuals who are in non-traditional peer support roles.
Staff and volunteers can expand their knowledge and access to resources to better help their clients and support improved individual outcomes. CBAS provides a 7-course, asynchronous, online learning experience. Over the course of approximately 7 hours individuals will be trained on topics related to peer support and mental health support. The tools users will gain can be translated into peer support in various settings, everything from healthcare access, employment support, family intervention, and substance use treatment.
