Competencies
Building Transformative Relationships through Peer Support
The Intentional Peer Support Core Competencies guide peer support practitioners in building transformative, mutually supportive relationships. These competencies focus on self-awareness, authentic connection and learning together rather than helping.
By embracing these principles, practitioners create relationships that honor each person's worldview, foster hope and promote personal growth. Regular co-reflection is also emphasized to deepen understanding and connection with oneself and others.
