What Peer Support Coalition Of Florida, Inc. does

Peer Support Coalition of Florida, Inc. (PSCFL) is a peer-run nonprofit organization founded in 2012 and headquartered at 1200 W SR 434, Suite 202, Longwood, Florida. It delivers training, professional certifications, coaching services, and national technical assistance for the peer support workforce, serving peer specialists, healthcare workers, employers, recovery community organizations (RCOs), and state and local government agencies. PSCFL operates under a LEAN framework (Leadership, Education, Advocacy, Networking) and is led by Executive Director Cheryl Molyneaux with a five-member board and a small staff complement of approximately five.

The organization's core product portfolio includes four certification pathways — Certified Recovery Peer Specialist (CRPS, with Adult, Family, Veteran, and Youth endorsements, credentialed through the Florida Certification Board), Certified Personal Medicine Coach (CPMC, co-developed with Pat Deegan and Associates), Certified Well-Being Ambassador (CWBA), and Certified DBT Skills Coach (developed with Dr. Ventura at UF Health) — plus the Leadership Transformation Academy and a seven-week Recovery & Well-Being Coaching journey built on the PERMAH framework. These certifications are delivered through cohort-based training with virtual and in-person components, and supported by an e-learning LMS and a membership portal that also hosts a Career Center with the Peer Match Program connecting certified peers to qualifying positions.

PSCFL's business model blends federal and state grant funding with earned revenue. Anchor grants come from SAMHSA (SM080855 and SM082663) underwriting PENTAC — one of five federally funded Consumer and Consumer Supporter Technical Assistance Centers — and from the Florida Department of Children and Families via the Statewide Opioid Response grant. Earned revenue is generated through certification fees (e.g., $1,250 per CPMC participant, $25 CWBA fee, $60 annual CPMC recertification), membership dues, coaching services in DBT Skills, Personal Medicine, and Recovery & Well-Being, organizational consulting and fee-for-service technical assistance, eLearning CEU courses, and branded store products. Distribution is primarily digital through the LMS, membership portal, and direct outreach, supplemented by regional peer networks such as Hope Peer Network and Northern Star Peer Network. PSCFL markets through its website, member communications (email and SMS), a training and events calendar, and the Career Center, with national reach delivered via PENTAC.

Broad incumbents

• Mental Health America: National nonprofit with peer support, mental health education, and workplace well-being programs. Broad incumbent overlap with PSCFL's coaching, Well-Being Ambassador, and employer well-being initiatives, though MHA is a multi-issue organization rather than a peer-led specialist.
• National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI): Largest U.S. grassroots mental health organization offering peer-run programs, education, and training. Comparable to PSCFL on peer support education and family education, but operates at much broader national scale and competes for the same audience and donor pool.

Direct peers

• Youth MOVE National: National TA Center partner focused on youth leadership and youth voice within the peer support movement. Supports PENTAC's youth leadership focus area and competes for overlapping youth-credentialing content.
• National Empowerment Center: One of the other 5 federally funded Consumer and Consumer Supporter Technical Assistance Centers, providing technical assistance on peer values and recovery-oriented approaches in behavioral health. PSCFL lists it as a core partner, but the two organizations compete for the same federal mandate and audience.

Comparable to PSCFL's professional certification and CEU activity from a membership and standards body angle.
