The Serenity Center/Safe Haven is a thriving Recovery Community Center, providing recovery supports to individuals in the Northern RI area.  We are looking for individuals with lived experience with substance use, co-occurring mental illness, and/or homelessness who have been in recovery for at least a year.  Our members are across the spectrum of recovery, from precontemplation to maintenance.  We work with them at our two drop-in centers, through group and individual services.  This includes time in the community meeting people where they are at using a harm reduction approach.  If you are not already certified, we will support your participation in the Certification for Peer Recovery Specialist (CPRS) training.  Not only will you earn direct service hours you will receive both individual and group peer supervisions to assist you in developing as a professional.  You will work one-on-one with members to provide peer support, learn how to facilitate groups and participate in planning and delivering sober social events.  This is an immersive experience offering the opportunity to learn the day-to-day operations of a recovery center.
