Hello all,
The Amputee Coalition of Canada will be holding a day of training to become a Certified Amputee Peer Visitor. The upcoming (free) session has been set for Saturday June 3rd, 2017 at G.F.Strong Rehab Centre in Vancouver, BC.
We are looking for individuals who would be interested in becoming a Certified Peer Visitor through our program. Please read on to learn more about the Amputee Peer Visitor Program and how you can register for the upcoming session!
A Certified Peer Visitor is someone who has experienced a life changing event (limb loss or congenital limb deficiency), is at least one year post amputation, has returned to a full and productive life and has completed the Certified Peer Visitor Training Program. The Peer Visitor volunteers to:
- Serve as a role model
- Offer emotional support
- Provide information about the resources available locally and nationally
Through the Peer Visitor Program, a Peer Visitor can be requested to visit new amputees to provide support and education for them, and their families & caregivers. Usually 1-2 visits are provided. While professional health care providers can provide much of the needed care and education for our patients, we recognize how beneficial it can be for new amputees and their families to be supported by those who have travelled the journey before them. Such support, we believe, can best be offered by providing training to prospective volunteers that will assist them in serving in such a capacity, while at the same time taking steps to look after their own self-care in the process.
The training program will follow the Peer Training Manual as copyrighted by the Amputee Coalition of America and licensed for use by the Amputee Coalition of Canada. As a participant in the training day, you will be expected to do some reading, writing, role playing, and complete a mini-quiz regarding the information presented. The training instructors will then be evaluating your participation before you are able to become a certified Peer Visitor. Training materials, as well as lunch/refreshments/parking will be provided and the session is FREE. (Please see below for the agenda for the day.)
If you are interested in registering for the upcoming training session or have any questions, please contact Sheena King, Physiotherapist at 778-870-0326 or [email protected] . A minimum of 6 participants will be required to run the session.
Regards,
Sheena King Gary Richardson

SESSION EVALUATION TO FOLLOW
Purpose
Peer Training Program
The purpose of the Recovery to Practice Next Steps training is to bring together peer support providers from a variety of places (geography, philosophy, training, lived experiences, educational backgrounds, and perspectives) to share the richness of their lived experiences as peer providers, learn with and from each other, and come to a common understanding of how to support people in recovery through some of the current best practices in peer support.
Background
The training was developed under the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Recovery to Practice project as a continuing education opportunity for working providers of peer support services. The training was originally developed for peer support providers in the mental health system. However, skills and recovery principles practiced in this training also apply when supporting someone who is dealing with the effects of trauma, substance use, poor physical health, or multiple conditions.
Important!
This is not an ‘entry level’ or basic skills training. It is designed for those
who have been working (or volunteering) as a peer support provider for at least 1000 supervised hours
(equivalent of one year half-time or six months full-time)
prior to attending this training.
who have been working (or volunteering) as a peer support provider for at least 1000 supervised hours
(equivalent of one year half-time or six months full-time)
prior to attending this training.
Because the practice of peer support in treatment and service settings is still new and evolving, the real experts are those who are face to face and learning with each individual they support about what works and what doesn’t work. The activities in the training draw on those work experiences and allow participants to share within a true peer group of working peer providers what they are finding to be most helpful. In this way, the training becomes a support network for the peer supporters and an “incubator” for best practices in peer support.
