New Information Regarding Applications
All applicants for our training program require completion of the free self paced online:
Provincial Peer Support Worker Training Curriculum . ( Click link above to visit )
The provincial peer support worker (PSW) training curriculum is made up of 16 individual training modules meant to provide a strong foundation for those who are beginning their journey toward becoming a peer support worker as well as providing opportunities for those already working as PSWs to deepen and expand their knowledge.
The curriculum covers a wide range of topics chosen by peer support workers from across the province. Topics include mental health, understanding boundaries, connection and communication, supporting someone who uses substances and much more – all created in direct consultation with peer support workers.
