Continuing Education

Nebraska’s Only Peer-Written Continuing Education

Our education opportunities are available to Peer Support Specialists, their Supervisors, and the Administrators of the organizations for which they work. As Nebraska’s only peer-written continuing education classes, we lend our expertise to vital specialists throughout the state. 

Classes in the program are typically held in online classrooms so students can follow a self-paced format. For learning experiences best suited for one-to-one, we make the education available through either in-person classes or an online meeting format, such as Zoom.

Bias, Beliefs, and Judgement

This training calls Peer Support Specialists to deeper awareness, humility, and curiosity, strengthening the credibility and trust that make peer support so powerful. Participants practice reflection and self-awareness while exploring the many ways biases, beliefs, and judgments show up in peer work. The training emphasizes ethical and professional responsibility and provides practical tips to recognize and manage bias and judgment in order to maintain person-centered, recovery-oriented support.
