The main focus of Peer 2 Peer is to establish an innovative model of vocational training by adapting and integrating peer support training with psychodrama and video therapy sessions. The aim of the Peer 2 Peer training is to facilitate the employment of individuals as peer support workers. Individuals who complete learning will have lived experience of mental health or addictions so they can support others with similar difficulties. The course runs over 12 sessions usually on a fortnightly basis and after completion participants will be supported to access further training, education, volunteering or employment opportunities. Over 70% of participants move onto employment, volunteering or further education.
