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).
