Intentional Peer Support in Maine – 20 Years Later; Internationally – 30 Years Later
Kelly Staples
Workshop
Date: Thursday, 9/24
Time: 2:30-3:45pm
IPS is celebrating its 30th year in practice and Maine has integrated IPS into its Mental Health Peer Support practices for over 20 years. This workshop will highlight the practice and values of Intentional Peer Support and demonstrate how Maine developed a Code of Ethics in alignment with IPS. It could called the “Anti-Social Work” Code of Ethics. Participants will discuss ways that Maine has maintained fidelity to the model of IPS while and how to practice that in their own environments.
