There is a 45-minute self-paced webinar to be completed prior to the live sessions and a 20-minute self-paced webinar that must be completed within 7 days after the live sessions. The live virtual sessions are both 3.5 hours on consecutive days (the afternoon of day one and the following morning of day two).

Free Strategic Sharing Training
This training is open to all youth and young adults who want to learn to share their story, it is not exclusive to be a peer support specialist as we all at times may end up sharing our story regardless of working as a peer specifically, for example advocating with the legislature.
There isn’t a cap on how many folks can attend and you can pick which day of the two offerings you’d like to attend by filling out this short google registration form for the training which will send you a calendar invite with zoom details for the training.
If you have any questions feel free to contact Elliott Hinkle at ehinkle@pdx.edu
The next training takes place Tuesday, August 11 from 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM
