It is too late to book a place for this particular session, sorry about that.Peer2Peer Essentials is an one day introduction to all things peer and peer support!
Peer2Peer Essentials is an informative, accessible and interactive training which will introduce you to the values, principals and history of peer support, explore how peer relates to your own experiences, and how peer works in practice.
Peer2Peer Essentials is suitable for those looking to move into peer work, those already in peer roles and those interested in learning more about peer (for example, people who work alongside peer workers or are interested in developing peer support roles within their organisation).
Peer2Peer was originally developed through an EU funded partnership to provide training for people with lived experience of mental health challenges to support others in recovery. Scottish Recovery Network was a partner in the project and has played a major role in developing and promoting Peer2Peer.
The full Peer2Peer training is approximately 48 hours. Peer2Peer Essentials is a short course covering some of the foundational parts of Peer2Peer, and inviting you to think about your next steps. Peer2Peer Essentials was co-developed by members of the Peer Support Network.
In Peer2Peer Essentials you will:
- Explore the development of the recovery approach in mental health
- Explain peer support and its role in recovery
- Recognise the value of self-care and boundaries
- Explore the peer values framework and how these inform peer practice
- Think about some of the sticky points in peer support - including falling into helper or other support roles, developing empathy, and navigating boundaries
