Peer Support Training Program

Developing High-Impact Peer Support Teams

This program provides peer support members with the advanced clinical framework and practical skills necessary to facilitate high-stakes interventions. While most peer supporters join their teams with a mission to save lives, many are left without the tactical “how-to” of the support process. This course bridges that gap.

We begin by mastering the fundamentals of human engagement: initiating difficult conversations, utilizing precision questioning, and building internal motivation within peers. From this foundation the curriculum advances into the complexities of the field, including:

  • Primary Concerns: Navigating depression, acute anxiety, and the unique strain on marriage and family dynamics.
  • Critical Incidents: Strategic approaches to suicidality, PTSD, and the loss of a team member.

By integrating peer-led discussion with professional modeling, we replace hesitation with skilled competency. The result is a more effective, resilient peer support member who possesses the confidence to lead when it matters most.

Peer Support Saves Lives: Quick Intro

Interactive Expertise: A Multi-Dimensional Learning Experience

Each module features a curated series of 5-6 high-impact sessions led by Dr. Vaughn, alongside a panel of subject matter experts, veteran peer support leads, and specialized mental health professionals.

This program moves beyond the standard lecture format. We utilize a discussion-based architecture that prioritizes engagement and diverse professional perspectives. Instead of just hearing a curriculum, you will witness the work in action.

Why This Framework Works:

  • Collaborative Insights: Gain multiple strategic perspectives on complex issues and a range of viable options for intervention.
  • Practical Modeling: We don’t just talk about the “how-to”, we model the conversations. You’ll see exactly how to navigate difficult dialogues with precision and confidence.
  • Dynamic Engagement: Our interactive approach ensures that the training remains compelling, relatable, and directly applicable to the field.
