The Peer Recovery Support Services (PRSS) Training and Technical Assistance Center, funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and Substance Abuse Program (COSSAP), released the transcript of their podcast “The Power of Peers.” According to the podcast, “The Peer Recovery Support Services Training and Technical Assistance Center supports COSSAP grantees as they plan, implement, and evaluate peer recovery support services. The TTA Center also provides support to non-grantee jurisdictions and organizations that are working to integrate peer recovery support services into public, safety, criminal justice, or child welfare services.” During the podcast, four grantees provided an overview of their programs and ways they are addressing the opioid crisis: the Berkeley County Resource Center, the Kenosha County Opioid Initiative, the Fairfield County Opioid Response Team, and the Hamilton County Council on Alcohol and Other Drugs.
