Deepen IPS Practice

Intentional Peer Support developed a 24-hour Advanced Training to take IPS practice a step further, play out the principles and tasks using real-life scenarios, heighten self-reflection, enhance ways of building mutual connections, and sustain the practice. Advanced Training is for anyone who has completed a Core Training.

Learn the Art of Co-Reflection

Co-reflection is a vital practice where people regularly come together to reflect on their relationships using the IPS framework. Here is an opportunity to examine relationships, look at assumptions, and sustain the tasks and principles. Core Training gets you started with Co-Reflection, and our Advanced Training helps you master it.

Explore Crisis as an Opportunity

Traditionally, crisis in mental health has been viewed as something undesirable or harmful, and risk assessment has led to fear-based responses that keep people stuck. In the Advanced Training, you will focus on using crisis instead as an opportunity to connect, maintain mutuality, and create a culture of healing. You will get to further explore what it means to be trauma-informed, work with conflict and challenging situations, develop flexible boundaries, use proactive crisis planning, and prepare for program evaluation.
