Train the Trainer
Preparing IPS Organizational Trainers
(5 days in-person / 11 days virtual)
Our Train-the-Trainer Course is a hands-on seminar designed to prepare and designate IPS Organizational Trainers. These trainers can then teach the Core Content within their own organizations, helping to ensure the fidelity and sustainability of IPS.
Spread IPS Knowledge and Practices
Many people complete an IPS Core Training feeling inspired to share what they've learned with others. We welcome this enthusiasm and have developed a system to help spread the content of our Core Training.
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.
