IPS Overview: An Introduction
Discover the Power of Intentional Peer Support
This three-hour online overview course introduces participants to the history of IPS and the tasks and principles of this transformational framework. The course provides an interactive platform for questions and discussions with facilitators and fellow participants.
As peer support in mental health proliferates, we must be mindful of our intention: social change. It is not about developing more effective services, but rather about creating dialogues that have influence on all of our understandings, conversations, and relationships.
– Shery Mead, Founder of IPS
Why IPS?
Peers unite around shared experiences and a desire for change. However, without a new framework, people often recreate "help" based on their past experiences.
IPS offers a foundation for a different approach, rooted in grassroots alternatives that focus on building relationships that are mutual, explorative, and conscious of power dynamics.
