We would like to share with you a new upcoming peer support program hosted by a partner organization of ours called the Stigma-Free Society. The Society is a registered Canadian Charity located in Vancouver, B.C. since 2010 and aims to reduce stigma of all kinds with a focus on mental health.
This November 2021, the Stigma-Free Society is holding their second online Peer Support Worker Training Session for rural residents with a generous grant from Pacific Blue Cross – BC.
Peer Support Worker Training Information:
- 2-day course: Nov. 1st & 8th (8 am-4 pm PDT) and (10 am-6 pm CDT) and (11 am-7 pm EDT) (with breaks)
- Training is free of cost with a $50 deposit required to secure your spot. The deposit will be refunded once you attend the session unless you choose to donate the $50 to the Stigma-Free Society. Donations are always welcome. If you do not attend, there is no refund of the deposit. (Peer Support Training is originally valued at $375)
- The Program is delivered in partnership with Robyn Priest LIVE YOUR TRUTH, a world-renowned reputable peer support training company.
