❔ What did people find most valuable at the 2026 Peer Workforce Collaborative? ​

Relevance, clarity, and depth. These were the main themes mentioned in the 2026 attendee feedback! Each year, PWC trainers ensure their training topics actually apply to peer specialist work, so everyone can walk out feeling confident with their new skills.

Thank you to all the trainers who made it happen: Sparkle Lindsay, Liz Richards at HardBeauty, Ty Jackson at Serenity Recovery Connection, Dë Waldron from Advocates for Recovery Colorado Non-Profit, Stacy Jones and Doty Shepard from Resilient Colorado.

One of last year's COPA Outstanding Employee award winners was Rande Gaier. She is a paramount part of CHOW's many programs that support the wellbeing of industry workers across the state of Colorado. ​

Want to know more about each winner's story? You're in luck! We wrote profile articles on many of the 2025 winners. Each has a unique behavioral health journey very much worth reading. ​
