The peer-employment-training approach of Recovery Innovations in Arizona

Costs and Savings

With every drop in hospitalizations comes a big cash saving. Johnson notes that a 15% drop in hospitalisations over 15 months represents a saving of roughly $10 million. For this reason he suggests that peer-based services are particularly appropriate at this time, given the severe budgetary problems facing mental health providers in the US – a message that resonates in many other countries.

 

The course is 80 hours of classroom time.  The pricing varies some depending on whether instructor travel and accommodation has to be included.  The price per student ranging from $1,195 to $1,395 depending on class size with the minimum required of 12 and a max of 20.  The per student price includes all materials and the textbook.
