Thank you for your interest in helping others with your lived/living experience with a mental health condition.
Learning how, when, where and in what context to apply training to help others is a crucial step in helping others successfully.
The Apostles of Life program recommends that basic training be completed before an individual seeks to apply their lived/living experiencing safely with another.
The following training links are to external programs that will assist with preparing prospective Peer Support Specialists (PSS) to engage in voluntary, supervised work experience in partnership with a Qualified Peer Coordinator (QPC).
