Peer Support Training
Creating connections is integral for anyone who is struggling with their own situation.
Whether it is workplace stressors or personal circumstances, peer supporters can provide a sense of empowerment to those who need it.
Prairies to Peaks Consulting Inc. pioneered the concept of Peer Support in Western Canada, and we have been training Peer Support Workers for over a decade. We are here to train peer supporters in the best ways to provide that support and sense of empowerment.
Peer Support Services
Peer Support is the art of sharing one’s lived experience to cultivate hope in another. A Peer Supporter has a personal understanding of a specific journey, such as a mental health challenge. Peers provide emotional and social support to others who share that experience.
Peer support services are about building connections, breaking down barriers, and providing a safe, stigma-free support network for anyone in need. Peer supporters do this by drawing from their lived experience and their peer support training.
You might provide peer support to:
- Your family members
- Co-workers
- People in your sporting, religious, or community organizations
