Voices of Transformation

Hear from graduates, facilitators, and community partners about their experiences with DMV Recovery Support Services training programs.

"The Metaverse Trials training system completely transformed how I approach peer support. The combination of narrative learning and practical exercises gave me both the knowledge and confidence to serve my community effectively. I'm now working full-time as a peer specialist and making a real difference."
