Right now, I am working on getting my case load to have 8 or 9 clients, which will keep me busy. Feel free to ask me questions about being a CMPS, I will try to answer them to the best of my ability.  |
Great to hear Missouri has CPS training/jobs as well as Massachusetts. I took CPS training as well as WRAP and Peer Facilitator. Currently, I'm caregiver for my elderly parents 24/7 however. My peers in MA love their "lived experience" paid positions as well. We have a Recovery Learning Center and peers run it from the top down. I would love to keep in touch with you perhaps we can be "friends" on this site.
