Today we’d like to introduce you to Tyrell Moyd.
Tyrell D. Moyd began serving in the Behavioral Health profession in April 2012 as a Workforce Develop Coordinator for Maryland Community Health Initiatives. In concert with the Social Enterprise Director, he created an intensive workforce development program which taught individuals professional soft skills as well as provided hands-on technical skills in various areas.
In June of 2014, Maryland Community Health Initiatives, Inc. opened the Penn North Community Resource Center and Mr. Moyd assumed the responsibilities of the center’s Director. Under his leadership, Penn North, offered wrap-around services to support the recovery process. The center offered such services as GED and computer literacy classes, wellness services (Acupuncture, Tai Chi, and Qi Gong), workforce development, 12-step support groups, a monthly food drive, peer support, and other various community supports. Engaging the community is one of his passions, so from holiday community events to the annual Recovery Festival to the almost weekly Friday Night Live dances, Tyrell was continually planning events to keep the community socially well.
Along with direct service to the community, Mr. Moyd also began to facilitate Recovery Support training with his mentor, Carroll C. Conquest. Under Mr. Conquest’s tutelage, facilitation revealed Tyrell’s gift to coach and cultivate Recovery Support professionals, and in October of 2015, he became the Director of the Baltimore Recovery Corps (BRC) @ Penn North. The BRC is a training hub for peer-based recovery and advocacy support services that are non-clinical in nature and designed to engage persons seeking access to treatment and support services, as well as those preparing to leave treatment and reestablish life in the community. As the BRC Director, he was responsible for the delivery of both core-curriculum and supplemental classes. Tyrell coordinated and facilitated the classes taught through the BRC program.
Tyrell’s tenure with Maryland Community Health Initiatives, Inc. (Penn North) ended June 2018, at the end of the BRC grant fiscal year. In August of the same year, he joined the Light of Truth Center, where he is the Education & Wellness Director. He continues his “service to those who serve others,” with his own brand, the *3C Recovery Support Training Institute. Together, the Light of Truth Center DBA 3c Recovery Support Training Institute endeavors to offer training and support to individuals who care for and provide services to the Behavioral Health community.
Mr. Moyd is a highly respected facilitator and prides himself in delivering training that is engaging, challenging and fun. He has been recognized for his service to the Behavioral Health community by the Baltimore City Mayor’s office, a Governor’s citation, the Maryland General Assembly and the National Council on Alcoholism & Drug Dependence-Maryland.
Tyrell D. Moyd continues to impact in the Behavioral Health profession by facilitating training, speaking at various conferences and championing Peer Recovery Support Professionals everywhere.
*3C Recovery Support Training Institute is named in homage to Tyrell’s mentor, Carroll Christopher Conquest
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Most of my challenges were internally overcoming my the fear of the unknown. The doubt that I could “pull this off.” The courage to take risks. Yet, with determination and support, I continue to rise as an emerging leader in Behavioral Health training.
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about 3c Recovery Support Training Institute – what should we know?

Wow! I come from a large family and the house was always full of family and friends. So, my favorite memory is an amalgamation of Sunday dinners, holidays and gatherings with my mom, 13 siblings and extended family and friends.
