Peer Support Specialist Training teaches individuals who are in recovery from mental health challenges to support others by sharing their recovery story and offering encouragement, hope, and understanding to their peers. The training provides an opportunity for individuals to use their own lived experience with mental health challenges as a strength to support others on a mental health recovery journey. Visit www.idahopeersupport.com/training to learn more and apply for the training if you feel it’s a good fit for you.

The Medicaid YES Program team will be holding a monthly public YES Program Stakeholder Engagement meeting. YES Program team members will be available to discuss the requirements of the 1915(i) State Plan Amendment (SPA) that created the YES Program and answer questions surrounding those requirements for families and youth, YES premium implementation, and the Public Health Emergency (PHE) and Medicaid Protection unwinding.
