You can find someone from OptumHealth at most public meetings related to mental health. We're there to hear what the community and stakeholders have to say, and we'd always like to hear from you. Here is a list of some of the upcoming events where you can find us.

• Coming Soon - Peer Counseling Training
  Certified Peer Counselors work for or contract with RSN providers to assist consumers in identifying life goals and helping them take steps to achieve those goals. This training meets the training requirement by the Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery for Peer Counseling Certification. Interested parties must first complete an application to determine eligibility for the training.. Eligible individuals will be put on a waiting list for the next training in late spring, 2010.
