July 22-23, 2011 Peer-to-Peer Instructor Education Program. The training will be held at Jorgenson's Inn and Suites in Helena.  The deadline for applications is July 3, 2011.  The training will begin at 8:00 a.m. on Friday and end at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday.  Peer-to-Peer teams are made up of two individuals who have serious mental illneses and are in recovery from their illnesses. Peer-to-Peer is a ten week (one day or night a week for two hours) experiential education course on recovery for any person with serious mental illness who is interested in establishing and maintaining wellness.  The course uses a combination of lecture, interactive exercises and structured group processes to promote awareness, provide information and offer opportunities to reflect on the impact of mental illness as it expresses itself uniquely through each participant’s life.  Anyone wanting to become trained as a Peer-to-Peer instructor must commit two teaching to Peer-to-Peer courses during the next two years.  The curriculum has changed for this course, so we recommend that anyone who took the training more than two years ago consider signing up for another course.
