Ms. Comer is a Nationally Certified Peer Specialist, a Certified Recovery Peer Specialist (CRPS) with the State of Florida, a Community Health Worker/Certified Recovery Specialist (CHW/CRS) with the State of Indiana, a Copeland Institute certified Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) facilitator, and she is certified to teach and facilitate all of the peer and family signature classes and support groups developed by the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI).
