  The Pennsylvania Peer Support Coalition is now actively planning our forth conference for June 2022.

  This year's theme is the A.R.T. (adaptive, resilient, transformative) of Peer Support. As in past years we are welcoming all peer professionals (CPS, CRS, CFRS, FPSS, CHW, etc).

  Because we had such a positive response to the virtual conference last year, we have decided to keep the virtual setting for all of our keynote presentations and workshops. This format allowed considerably more peers the opportunity to attend and participate. It also gives us the freedom to offer many more learning opportunities.

  
  

  The good news is ... we will also be holding an in-person banquet dinner in State College!!!

  (separate registration required)
