Wellness Engagement Training (WE Training)

WE Training is a self-directed structure for people who want to work one on one or to educate and support constituents to implement support groups. It is ideal for peer support specialists, people who support someone facing a challenge and anyone who wants to enhance their ability to empower others to activate planning in their lives. In this training, participants learn skills that can take peer work deeper to encourage others to take practical steps for their own wellness.

Lived experience opens the door for us, but it's our relationship skills that create change in people's lives. WE training translates the values and ethics of peer support toward working collaboratively, creating healthy relationships, and identifying starting points for exploring wellness and action planning. You will learn techniques to engage people to recognize their own abilities and their power to plan for themselves. Additionally, this training can assist with the challenge of engaging people in their own wellness.
