Certificate in Peer Support (Mental Health)(Level 4)
Peer Support Workers now have a Level 4 NZQA-approved course developed specifically to
meet the needs of their role. We’re offering it in Auckland in August 2010 and Christchurch
October 2010, for employers looking to train new or existing Peer Support Workers.
The challenges of working in Peer Support are unique. You are required to bring elements of
deeply personal experience into a professional setting, and to make difficult decisions on a
regular basis about how best to promote recovery. The Certificate in Peer Support ensures your
employees are fully equipped to rise to these challenges, and become great Peer Support
Workers.
