Peer Support Bootcamp

By: Jean Houston, Lead Family Contact

Three very positive and compassionate professionals engaged 24 Peer Support Partners (PSPs) from Ohio, Illinois, and Michigan in an intense and focused two day training on September 20-21.  Held at the Oasis Conference Center in Loveland, participants were able to enjoy a relaxing atmosphere surrounded by a scenic pond and walking path.

Neil Brown, from Columbus, Ohio, who is also a Wraparound Consultant for FAST TRAC; Patricia Miles from Portland, Oregon, who is a Wraparound Consultant and provides support for the Peer Support Credentialing program; and Marilyn Pellot-Raygoza, from Los Angeles, California, who has been providing peer support for more than 10 years, led the group through an intensive set of skill building exercises.

Participants were divided into three learning groups and moved throughout the training together.  The learning groups spent time with each trainer on topics from the different learning tracks:  Working with FamiliesWorking with Professionals and Self-Care.  

Peer Support Partners were actively involved in discussions throughout both days.  On the second day, each group was called upon to present a skit depicting what they had learned and very different portrayals of their experiences emerged!  Each team gave themselves a name and presented their team in a way that kept everyone rolling with laughter.   Observing the facilitators, their facial expressions and verbal responses to the skits created an atmosphere of relaxation and knowledge that the PSPs had indeed gained much content from the boot camp!

Youth Leadership Training

The first Youth Leadership Training series will begin on February 9th from 10am to 2pm. It will be held the second Saturday of the month from February through May at 1074 Wasserman Way in Batavia. The first part of the training will be an overview of the FAST TRAC system of care and what social marketing is. In March, the group will participate in team building activities and the ropes course at Woodland Lakes. If you identify yourself as a leader and want to further develop your leadership skills, then these trainings are for you.

Free Cultural Competence Training

Clermont FAST TRAC offers the opportunity for FREE training for your organization on the topic of diversity and the workplace. Currently, we are offering the program “OUCH! That Stereotype Hurts-Communicating Respectfully in a Diverse World,” based on the book by Leslie C Aguilar and produced and distributed by Joel Leskowitz, Sunshower Learning.

The program is interactive and uses a DVD training tool to help participants develop tools to talk about issues that may come up when someone is speaking about others in a culturally insensitive way. For more information about bringing this training to your organization, please contact Mary Wolff, FAST TRAC CLC Coordinator at (513) 732-4515 or mwolff.ft@ccmhrb.org
