Intentional Peer Support
Intentional Peer Support is a peer support training that prepares individuals to share their lived experience in a meaningful, respectful, and transformative way, with others who are going through difficult life experiences. IPS emphasizes the peer relationship as the effective tool for transformation and growth.
Participants in IPS Core Training will experience an immersive, highly interactive peer support training that helps them build the interpersonal skills essential to providing effective peer support. This is not a passive, lecture-based training; instead, it utilizes role play, experience sharing, and interactive activities that will help participants hit the ground running as they enter peer support work. To find out more about IPS and IPS training, go to https://intentionalpeersupport.org.
It is important to note that IPS Core Training is a 40-hour training that qualifies participants for Peer Support Specialist Certification in the State of North Dakota. In order to successfully complete the course, a participant must attend 90% (36 hours) or more of the training, or work with instructors to make up missed time.
IPS Core Training sponsored by Peer Vision consists of one 4-hour session per week for ten weeks. Session days and times vary depending on individual class needs, and modes of participation (in-person or virtual) also vary. This series places particular focus on the support needs of persons who have served in the military. Veterans and individuals who provide services to veterans can attend the course free of charge, though a deposit for materials, which is refundable upon completion of the course, may be required. Non-veteran/military persons interested in peer support training are welcome to participate and will be asked to pay $100 (non-refundable) for course materials. Please contact Peer Vision with any questions regarding course fees.
An IPS training has been scheduled to begin on March 25, 2026, to run four hours per week for 10 weeks. Classes will take place at the Minot Vets for Vets Center on Wednesdays from 5:00 - 9:00 pm.
