For the past two years we have offered this course twice a week for 10 weeks online via Zoom. Robyn and her instructors have been using Zoom for for all their training and they know first hand how to use the platform to create the best learning environment for everyone in the course.

Peer Support Workers from around the world have benefited from this training all from the comforts of their office or home. Check out our "Raving Fans" page on our website for some of our happy customers.

This new and updated training was created in conjunction with the Centre for Innovation in Peer Support. The training includes diving deeper into the below topics to add more to your peer supporter role.

It is a comprehensive, interactive and practical training of peer support workers and family peer support workers.

Who can be a Peer Support Worker? Any person with their own experience of living with mental health/addiction issues. But wait, there’s more, we also train Family Peer Support Workers in the training.

Who can do that? A family member of someone living with a mental health/addiction issue.

We have designed the training to maximize your learning through the use of many teaching modalities. We will be using videos, slides, dialogue, Zoom rooms, games, and scenarios to fully equip you to be in communities providing valuable peer support services after this training.

The training is highly interactive and includes lots of practice of the skills you will need.
