Peer Support Lunch and Learn — Carrying the Weight: Trauma, Boundaries, & Resilience in Peer Support Work
May 20 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm
Tuesday, May 20th, Noon to 1:30 p.m.
Session from Noon to 1 p.m., with group networking from 1:00 to 1:30 p.m.
This session will examine different aspects of trauma and how trauma shapes our work as Peer Support Specialists. This session will also dive into setting and holding boundaries with friends and family, as our work as Peer Support Specialists often makes us the “go to” person in our social circles. There will also be a discussion surrounding how, as Peer Support Specialists, we are held to different standards and assumed to be the role model in our social circles. Lastly, there will be a dive into how resilience is created and maintained in rural communities, and a rural perspective on resilience will be explored.
