Intentional Peer Support Core Training (Virtual)

Vermont's Peer Workforce Development Initiative

Participants will learn the tasks & principles of Intentional Peer Support and have opportunities to practice this innovative approach.

Intentional Peer Support is a way of thinking about and inviting transformative relationships. Practitioners learn to use relationships to see things from new angles, develop greater awareness of personal and relational patterns, and support and challenge each other in trying new things.Based on Shery Mead’s book, Intentional Peer Support: An Alternative Approach, our Core Training is a 5-day introduction to this innovative framework and is designed to have you practicing right away. In a highly interactive environment, participants learn the tasks and principles of IPS, examine assumptions about who they are, and explore ways to create relationships in which power is negotiated, co-learning is possible, and support goes beyond traditional notions of “service.” IPS is all about opening up new ways of seeing, thinking, and doing, and here we examine how to make this possible.This training is generously sponsored by the Peer Workforce Development Initiative - there is only a $100 fee per participant for IPS Core Materials. Please include an address for shipping when you register. We will contact you about payment for the materials once you&#x27;ve registered for the training. Training Schedule:Sept 20-24, 12:30-4:30pm (with short breaks)Sept 27-Oct 1, 12:30-4:30pm (with short breaks)
