The purpose of this thesis project was to write a grant proposal to make peer specialist trainings available in Orange County, California. The trainings will be funded by Mental Health Services Act’s Workforce Education and Training funds and take place at the Recovery Education Institute, in the City of Orange. The trainings will be coordinated by Orange County Health Care Agency’s Behavioral Health Services branch, using the Peer Employment Training program developed by Recovery Innovations, Inc. The trainings will help contribute to the development of the growing peer workforce in Orange County and increase the quality and efficacy of the peer support services provided. The implementation and/or submission of this grant proposal was not a requirement for the successful completion of this thesis project.
