Via Hope developed Introduction to Healing-Centered Peer Support: An Approach for Peers Working with Trauma to train people who currently work or are interested in working as a peer supporter in the concepts of trauma, healing, and healing-centered peer support. This training was inspired by an article featured on Medium by Dr. Shawn Ginwright titled, “The Future of Healing: Shifting from Trauma-Informed Care to Healing-Centered Engagement.”
This three-day virtual training provides participants with a foundation for understanding what trauma is, how trauma impacts people and communities, what healing looks like, and how peers can use these concepts and their own lived experience to best support people who are navigating trauma and/or exploring healing. Throughout the training, participants will have opportunities to explore and define their own story of trauma and healing through various activities and structured reflection.
