How to Design Peer Support

The Peer Partnership is a brand developed to take forward the work of Brigstowe which has been providing a range of HIV support services for 30 years. The Peer Partnership provides consultancy support for organisations that would like to develop their services to include effective peer support programmes and delivers best practice workshops in the non-profit sector to train professionals in providing high-quality support to their service users.

The Peer Partnership

Learn how to design and implement a peer support programme for your organisation and help your service users to become your greatest asset.

This workshop is designed to support organisations to consider, plan, and troubleshoot the introduction of peer support programmes into their services.Peer support can be a hugely effective intervention for people going through complicated life circumstances. Being able to receive empathetic support from people who have been through similar situations can reduce feelings of isolation and not being understood. It can also help people improve knowledge, confidence, and ability to take control of their situation by learning from the experiences of others who have overcome, or who may still be struggling with, the obstacles and barriers they are facing.We at The Peer Partnership are working to spread the adoption of peer support by designing, developing, and implementing peer support programmes, and supporting other organisations to do the same.Our workshop includes:<ul><li>What peer support is – Covering definitions of peer support, different forms, qualities of peer volunteers and limitations of peer services</li><li>Organisational considerations – Covering coordination, recruitment, promotion, development and evaluation of peer services</li><li>Action planning – Writing an initial action plan for how you are going to proceed including purpose of service, model of support, and inputs and outputs</li><li>Risk assessments and contingencies</li></ul>Who is it for?This workshop is for any organisation considering or currently providing peer support services. Participants will not require any prior knowledge of peer support to participate. There will be a maximum of 15 participants per workshop to allow for meaningful engagement.Registration:Please click "Get tickets" to register for this course.

It was very important to know that mentoring needs to be properly resourced as I don't always think it is within my organisation.""I've learned lots and I've come away with a better understanding of how we can develop a new peer mentoring programme for a specific group, but hopefully in other service areas in time. I will now be working on a detailed action plan using the structure and ideas shared!""The session was extremely inspiring and it made me really want to get mentoring up and running at my org so that we can make such a huge impact on our service users as The Peer Partnership has in theirs."For more information about this workshop or The Peer Partnership, please contact us on 0117 955 5038 or visit <a href="https://www.peerpartnership.org" title="https://www.peerpartnership.org" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.peerpartnership.org</a>.
