Peer Support Specialists (PSS) play a vital role in California's mental health and substance use treatment sectors by leveraging their personal experiences to provide empathetic, non-clinical support to individuals facing similar challenges. As the demand for mental health services has surged, particularly after the COVID-19 pandemic, the accessibility of becoming a PSS—requiring just a high school diploma and completion of a training program—makes it an appealing career option for those looking to make a positive impact. Their contributions not only enhance recovery outcomes but also alleviate pressures on healthcare systems, showcasing the importance of peer-based support in mental health care.
