Intentional Peer Support (IPS) is a highly interactive training that introduces a perspective on how to deliver effective, trauma-informed peer support services. This training, created by Shery Mead, has been modified by the facilitators in order to offer invaluable material to staff in all disciplines and roles, beyond Certified Peer Specialists. All supporters are encouraged to attend, however, please keep in mind that those attending this session will be challenged to come with an open-mind and participate in demonstrations. IPS focuses on building solid relationships with the individuals in services and emphasizes how this relationship can be the foundation for offering hope and connection, with respect to worldview.
