About the IC&RC Peer Recovery Exam
The IC&RC Peer Recovery (PR) examination certifies individuals with lived experience of mental health and/or substance use recovery to deliver peer support services. Effective July 2025 the exam validates competencies across five domains: Advocacy (20%), Ethical Responsibility (30%), Mentoring and Education (20%), Recovery/Wellness Support (15%), and Harm Reduction (15%). It contains 75 multiple-choice questions - 65 scored plus 10 unscored pretest items - delivered in 2 hours. Peer recovery specialists offer mentoring, support, and resource connection grounded in their own recovery experience while maintaining professional boundaries that distinguish peer support from clinical treatment. The credential is reciprocal across IC&RC member jurisdictions and is locally branded (e.g., CPRS, CRSS, CRS, PRSS) in different states.
