Upcoming Trainings

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. 

The next IPS Core Training sponsored by Peer Vision will begin on Thursday, March 20th, and will consist of one 4-hour session per week for ten weeks, ending on May 22nd. The sessions will take place on Thursday evenings from 5:00 to 9:00 pm at Minot Vets for Vets, 720 Western Avenue, Suite 101 in Minot.  Veterans and individuals who provide services to veterans can attend the course free of charge. Others interested in peer support training are welcome to participate and will be asked to pay $100 for course materials. Please contact Peer Vision with any questions regarding course fees.
