Time: 10:00 a.m. to noon
Location: Elizabethton campus, 386 Highway 91, Room E203
Fee: Free to the community
Course instructor Frankie Nunley became a Certified Peer Recovery Specialist (CPRS) in 2013. In 2021, Nunley was trained as a recovery coach, Certified Peer Recovery Supervisor (CPRS supervisor), and became a Certified Men’s Health Educator (CMHE). Nunley presently serves as a Region 1 Regional Overdose Prevention Specialist (ROPS), providing education, training, outreach, and referrals.
