Our Peer Support Implementation Workshop equips teachers with the skills to implement and run the Peer Support Program. It provides participating teachers with Peer Support Coordinator accreditation for three years. This accreditation, combined with a school membership, means you can run Peer Support at your school.

What’s the difference between the face-to-face and online workshops?

Our face-to-face workshops are interactive, informative and fun with lots of discussion and sharing of wellbeing practice throughout the day. They run from 9am to 4pm.

The online workshop condenses the training into two hours. You will learn how to plan and run the program, but the one-day workshop allows time for planning and discussion of your school’s specific implementation plans with support from our Wellbeing Education Consultant.

Who should attend?

The workshop is for teachers who are coordinating the Peer Support Program at their school.

It’s relevant to both teachers who have run the program in the past and need to refresh their training, and teachers who are running the program for the first time.

We encourage schools to train more than one teacher.

What does the workshop cover?

The workshop covers:

• Understanding of a whole school approach to creating a positive school culture
• A best practice model for implementing the Peer Support Program
• Key underpinnings of the Peer Support Program
• Curriculum, policy, and other educational initiative links
• Supporting research on mental health of young people
• Action plan for implementation
• Opportunity to network and share ideas with other teachers
