Following on from our highly successful volunteer support worker training program, WIRE is piloting an exciting new project that extends this training to peer workers and leaders in the community!
Often peer workers and leaders are the first to learn when someone is experiencing hardship or vulnerability but are unsure of how to respond or where to refer someone for specialist support. This new program will provide peer workers in the community with the skills, knowledge and confidence to have challenging conversations, with the aim to makes access to specialist support more likely.
WIRE will co-design with community a training program to build and enhance the skills, knowledge and confidence of peer workers and community leaders to effectively respond and refer people to specialist services, as well as share strategies and tools to care for themselves in the process.
The project is open to any woman or gender-diverse peer leader or peer worker with a connection to suburbs in the north, and priority will be given to migrant and refugee community members.
