I feel very prepared for my role as an Individual Peer Support Worker!" Michael Weedon "Robyn Priest walks the talk, and will inspire you to do the same." - William M. "Sharing my story has become my credential!" June training participant "Such a great interactive and thorough training. I feel much more confident in my role as a family peer support. Thank you to the RPLYT team". Vicki Elliott "Peer Support has broadened my view of the world! Being my authentic self is all that is needed to provide peer support with empathy, understanding and that lived experience is to be celebrated, honored and shared so someone else can see they are not walking alone...." June training participant "A powerful experience to find your way to everything that is at the heart of Peer Support." Yukon Bonnie ".... Through humor, direct conversation, personal sharing and discovery based exercises, I quickly developed a new level of trust, openness, willingness and relate-ability with my "tribe" of co-participants. I learned so much! And I also began to appreciate how many skills I have already developed during my own experiences through significant transition and change that I didn't have a name for. This was a deeply personal exploration into my own recovery journey that unexpectedly (for me, anyway!) has grown my capacity to be available in a peer support capacity for others in my life and in my profession. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to participate and I am now very excited for future training with Charlotte and Robyn! I highly recommend RPLYT and their services!"
