Message from the Executive Director.

UAPSS Is committed to Guiding, Providing, and Advancing Peer Support Services. To Promote and support all recovery throughout the state of Utah.

CPSS first came to Utah in 2010 and was trained by ACG a national recognized peer support organization who is credited for creating billable services as far back as 1999. Since becoming trained myself in 2011 I have never stopped teaming up with state and local recovery providers creating partnerships that last, and bridging gaps as the system comes together stronger and well suited to fit the needs of everyone.

My goal has always been centered on pushing Peer Support Services forward.

Today Utah has a strong CPSS recovery workforce and it has been my pleasure to not only help build that workforce create a sustainable future for so many peers and organizations along that path. UAPSS is the next step on that path.
