More about Frank
Frank Gragnano currently serves his third term as the Training Committee Chair for the Region Five Recovery Advisory Council (RAC) for fiscal year 2024–2025. A dedicated leader in Virginia’s recovery movement, Frank previously served as RAC Chair in 2022, where he played a key role in guiding the council’s growth into a dynamic, peer-led force serving all Peer Recovery Specialists (PRSs) across Region Five.
In 2024, Frank launched a groundbreaking training initiative, leveraging connections in Region 4 to create an annual opportunity for 30 PRSs to attend the Research to Recovery Conference in Richmond, VA. This initiative enables participants to earn up to 15 continuing education credits (CEs) toward certification renewal, empowering the workforce through access, connection, and professional development.
Frank has worked as a Peer Recovery Specialist with Norfolk Community Services Board since 2019. As part of his personal and professional growth, he earned his Certified Substance Abuse Counselor (CSAC) credentials in early 2025. He is also on track to graduate from the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Social Work on May 10, 2025, with plans to pursue licensure as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) to serve others on a deeper clinical level.
