Peer-to-Peer is a unique
learning program for people with any serious mental illness who are
interested in establishing and maintaining their wellness and recovery.
The Peer-to-Peer course
consists of nine, two-hour units taught by a team of trained "mentors" who
are personally experienced at living well with mental illness. Using
a combination of lectures and interactive exercises, Peer to Peer provides
opportunities to reflect on the impact of mental illness on individuals'
lives and offers comprehensive information on the biological basis of
mental illness, personal and interpersonal awareness, coping skills
addictions and basic self-care. Preventing and accommodating relapse is an
integral part of the course.
For a better understanding of
what Peer to Peer is all about, watch the
Peer to Peer Outreach Video ( streaming video at Google Video).
