Based on Shery Mead’s book, Intentional Peer Support: An Alternative Approach. This is a virtual training and we'll be using Zoom as the platform. You'll receive the joining information via email prior to the training. 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.
