Team Preparation Training
About the course
This CPD certified course provides a range of considerations for teams integrating peer support workers into their service and to identify positive supporting factors and areas for development.
The session will cover what a peer support worker is, what work they undertake, what values they work to, give space for teams to explore their thoughts and feelings about working alongside peer support workers and where needed exploring assumptions about the role. We will explore what steps a team needs to take moving forward and leave with some guidance around next steps and ideas that are bespoke to your team.
