Recovery
Cal Voices’ core mission reflects the concepts of client/family resiliency and recovery. We incorporate the values of the recovery model into all of our programs. These philosophies are the most important to us and drive the work we do daily. In addition, Cal Voices has advocated for decades to transition the public behavioral health system into a recovery-oriented entity.
Our team of recovery educators brings specialized expertise in evidence-based peer support, holistic wellness, and trauma-informed systems. We are dedicated to advancing the core values of consumer-directed recovery by routinely training and collaborating with policymakers, psychiatric and clinical staff, and community-based agencies.
Medi-Cal Peer Support Specialist Training
Our WISE U Staff are skilled in preparing individuals for certification as Medi-Cal Peer Support Specialists. Each trainer also contributes direct peer support experience to guide students with practical examples and career coaching.
Certified WRAP Facilitation
We have a number of staff who are experts in delivering the Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP), a structured, peer-led group intervention. We guide individuals in building personal wellness toolboxes, identifying triggers, and creating proactive crisis and post-crisis plans. Our facilitation centers on the five key recovery concepts: hope, personal responsibility, education, self-advocacy, and support.
Whole Health Action Management (WHAM) Trainers
Certified through the National Council for Mental Wellbeing to lead strengths-based, holistic workforce training. We teach individuals with behavioral health challenges how to set and achieve micro-goals across 10 evidence-based health and resiliency factors, successfully bridging the gap between physical health and mental health self-management.
Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) Educators
Our staff is equipped to deliver critical training that shifts organizational culture. We educate systems to recognize the signs of trauma exposure in clients and staff, avoid retraumatization, and safely integrate trauma-informed practices into daily policies and workflows.
