Why should I take this course?

As a peer support worker, you understand the impact made by a system that often focuses on the past. With your presence, you have the ability to change the lives of those you work with, just by walking alongside them, and reminding them that they are not alone. 

By understanding the complex needs of justice-involved peers, you'll be prepared to offer them the support and tools they need to return to their community successfully. You'll empower them to identify barriers, develop strategies, and move forward with the solutions needed to thrive in their reentry.
