IPS Core Training
The IPS Core Training is for anyone interested in mutual support and has been widely used a foundation training for people working in both traditional and alternative mantal health settings.
Based on Shery Mead's book "Intentional Peer Support: An Alternative Approach" our Core Training 5 session in person introduction to this innovative framework and is designed to have you practicing right away. 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.
What is Intentional Peer Support?
Intentional Peer Support (IPS) is a way of thinking about and inviting powerful, transformative relationships. Peer practitioners learn to use relationships to see things from new angles, develop greater awareness of personal and relational patters, and support and challenge each other in trying new things.
