Who We Work With

Organizations that hire for these roles

If your staff work directly with patients, clients, or community members, these credentials likely apply to your team.

Local health departments
Federally qualified health centers
Hospitals and health systems
Behavioral health providers
Recovery and treatment organizations
Community and faith-based groups
Correctional and reentry programs

Not on this list? Reach out anyway. If your staff do outreach, care coordination, or peer support, we can probably help.

Your Options

Three ways to train your staff

1

Send staff to an open class

Enroll one or two people in a scheduled cohort alongside participants from other organizations. Standard per-seat pricing applies: $1,400 for Community Health Worker training, $499 for Peer Recovery Specialist training.

2

Enroll a group at a reduced rate

Sending several people to the same cohort? Group rates are available. Pricing depends on how many staff you're enrolling and which program, so contact us and we'll put together a quote.

3

Run a private class for your organization

We can deliver the full training to your staff on your schedule, with no one else in the room. Useful when you're onboarding a new team, standardizing practice across sites, or working around shift coverage.

Private Training

Whichever fits your staffing and coverage needs.

Billing

How payment works

We accept purchase orders. If your organization needs to run this through procurement, send us your PO and we'll invoice against it. We can work with your accounts payable process rather than asking staff to pay out of pocket and seek reimbursement.

Payment plans are available for individuals. If a staff member is paying their own way, they don't have to cover the full amount up front. Contact us and we'll set something up.

For invoicing questions, terms, or paperwork your finance office needs, get in touch and we'll send what's required.
