Intrinsic Change — Training for Helping Professionals

Training for Milwaukee and Wisconsin teams

Peer support and peer supervision training

Peer specialists bring something no other role can: their own lived experience. This training helps peer specialists, and the people who supervise them, use it well.

Teams of 8 to 25 tend to work best. Larger group? Let us talk about what would fit.

Priced for the whole group, not per person. Discounted rates may be available in special circumstances.

Continuing education

What your team will leave with

  • Self-disclosure used with skill and purpose
  • Practices for forming deep connection
  • Ethics and decision-making in the peer role
  • For supervisors: ways to support the peer role

Who it is for

Certified peer specialists, recovery coaches and peer support staff. Also the supervisors and managers who supervise peer support professionals.

Supervising peer support professionals

Supervising peers is its own skill. Supervisors learn to support the peer role without turning it into clinical work.

Who teaches it

Jesse Jonesberg is a Wisconsin Certified Peer Specialist and serves on the DHS Certified Peer Specialist Advisory Committee. He has supervised peer support staff and uses his own story in his work. Tony Gardner trains on peer support, trauma and substance use.

Follow-up

Boosters and refreshers are available afterward.
