Peer Support Training

Purposeful Peer Support Workshop

Purposeful Peer Support is for women and men who have successfully overcome family violence and are now leading fulfilling lives free from violence, who want to gain skills to support others (peers) in their community who are on a similar journey.

The peer relationship offers a basis to explore personal journeys, look at things from new angles, offer mutual encouragement, and develop a greater awareness and understanding of one’s self. It is an intentional transformational relationship that involves a deep connection inspiring hope, self-determination and empowerment through the knowledge that overcoming adversity is possible.

Our Purposeful Peer Support model has been informed by extensive research, literature reviews and the voice of people with lived experience of family violence. The training content is informed by the “Intentional Peer Support” model developed in the USA by Shery Mead. The model is relationship focused, trauma informed and used throughout the world by health and social services.
