🎉 Congratulations to Teresa Riner and Teyana Whitfield! 🎉

The Community Service Board of Middle Georgia is proud to recognize Teresa Riner and Teyana Whitfield for successfully completing their Certified Peer Specialist (CPS) certifications!

Teresa Riner has been praised by her supervisor as a true team player who leads with compassion and initiative. Whether facilitating groups or offering one-on-one peer support at the Crisis Stabilization Unit, Teresa is known for stepping in when help is needed—without being asked. Her self-motivation, caring spirit, and willingness to serve make her an invaluable member of the CSBMG team.

Teyana Whitfield began her journey with CSBMG earlier this year and has already made a significant impact. As the CSI Case Manager for Washington County and the APEX CSI Case Manager for West Laurens Middle and High Schools, Teyana draws strength and purpose from her own experiences as a parent supporting a child with behavioral health challenges. Her recent certification as a Certified Peer Specialist – Parent marks a powerful milestone in her mission to uplift and empower other caregivers. In her new role, she will co-lead parent support groups, bringing empathy, advocacy, and hope to families throughout our region.

Please join us in celebrating these two outstanding women for their dedication, growth, and unwavering commitment to peer support and recovery. Your work is changing lives, and we are so proud of you both! 💜👏
