Welcome to Utilizing Professional Peers in Drug Treatment Courts: A Course Series for System Actors. This course series is for system actors working within drug treatment courts who are currently integrating or hope to integrate, professional peers into their settings.
This course is designed to help system actors develop the skills and knowledge needed to integrate professional peers into their drug treatment courts. Participants can take these courses independently or pick and choose based on need. Each course will provide knowledge and expertise related to integrating professional peers into drug treatment courts. Each course will incorporate skill-building exercises as well as course posttests to reinforce the information provided.
