Did you know we also offer a team training to help teams to understand the peer role?  This hour and a half training is great for teams implementing peer roles, agency board members, or teams who have already worked with peers, but haven’t had the opportunity to dive into the role of a peer.  The best part?  We deliver the training online so you don’t have to leave your boardroom!  Email us today for more information and availability. (Or of you need any help with trainings etc)

These are some of the programs and agencies and types of peer support work that we support.  We also will be opening up our two Communities of Practice to the province in 2020 (Peer Supervisors. Peer Support Workers).  Looking forward to connecting over 2020....

Hi Betty Lou, (or should I say Yoda Master?),

Would the contents of this training be available on your site at some later point?   We have minimal peer support workers involved in any of the projects we fund here, but that could (and probably should) change in the future.   I can't justify the expense of this training for us, but am interested in somewhat more than an academic way.
