Certified Peer Recovery Specialist (CPRS) Practice Exam

In the Actions step you turn ideas into concrete, starting work. You select the top 1–2 solutions from the brainstorm and define the initial actions to begin implementing them. This means choosing the most doable, impactful options and outlining specific steps, who will do them, and when to start. For example, if the brainstorm suggested reaching out to a peer mentor and creating a coping checklist, you would pick the two best options and specify the first tasks, such as contacting the mentor by Friday and drafting the coping checklist to begin next week. The other options aren’t the focus here: proposing a general plan is too vague to start action, assigning blame isn’t constructive or relevant to solving the issue, and conducting a survey is about gathering information rather than launching concrete steps.
