Intentional Peer Support (IPS) training

The Mental Health Commission has partnered with Consumers of Mental health WA (CoMHWA) for the delivery of the Intentional Peer Support Program (IPS). IPS is an internationally recognised model of peer work rather than a formal peer ‘qualification’. It is a way of thinking about and inviting transformative relationships. Practitioners learn to use relationships to see things from new angles, develop greater awareness of personal and relational patterns, and support and challenge each other in trying new things. IPS training is used in community, peer support, and human service settings, emphasizing mutual learning and growth for creating transformative relationships. Find out more about IPS on their website: https://www.intentionalpeersupport.org/

CoMHWA is bringing IPS to Western Australia this June and November under a fully paid scholarship opportunity. Expressions of Interest (EOI) are now closed.
