Shery is widely acknowledged as the international leader on peer support and trauma-informed, peer-run programmes that provide support and respite through times of "crisis".
The workshop itself is an exercise in peer support in that everything we learn about will be put into practice. You go way beyond talk about values and principles to experience the concrete practices that make peer support so unique and powerful. You leave this workshop with solid experience that you can use immediately to enhance your support of others.
