About Coach Vernon
Coach Vernon (Vernon L. Marshall Jr.) helps lead Medissage's wellness, peer-support, community-engagement, and organizational implementation strategies. His leadership combines lived experience with practical operations, teamwork, safety awareness, problem solving, and a commitment to making wellness accessible, understandable, and community centered.
Training & Course Development
Coach Vernon is continuing his professional development while creating Medissage's Wellness Peer Support Services training course. His preparation includes the 19.5-hour CORE training for Peer Support Specialists and the 40-hour Recovery Support Peer Specialist training through Communities for Recovery. Adult and Youth Mental Health First Aid instructor certification are planned next steps in his training pathway. Medissage's course is in development; it is separate from official Texas peer-specialist and MHFA certification programs.
