When did the first Core Training take place?

The first Core Training took place in March 2019. This timing is significant as it marks the inception of a structured approach to training peer recovery support specialists in Arkansas, aiming to enhance the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively support individuals in recovery. March was chosen potentially due to scheduling needs, availability of training resources, or other logistical considerations that may have aligned with the program's rollout. Understanding the date is essential for recognizing the foundation of peer support efforts within the community and the growth it has experienced since that initial training. This context can help practitioners appreciate the evolution of peer support training and its impact on recovery services in the state.
