  2. Is all Peer Support the same? • There are many different kinds of peer support and ways to practice peer support. • Different ways of “doing” peer support bring about different outcomes.

  3. Intentional Peer Support asks: What are we here to do? Not What are we here to stop?

  4. What Is Intentional Peer Support? IPS is a purposeful way of being in relationship. • It requires deep self-reflection (What’s my agenda? What’s my assumption/bias?) • Curiosity and openness (How do you understand things? Honor other’s beliefs.) • Expectation of learning from each other (We both have much to learn, rather than I’m here to help you.)

  5. Intentional Peer Support is also… • Purposefully focusing on Communication and Relationship. • Support and Help go both ways in a mutual reciprocal relationship. • Both individuals learn and grow. • Each person is the ‘expert’ about themselves and together, in an IPS relationship, a new ‘story’ is created.

  6. Traditional Crisis Response • Crisis Stabilization = Moving Away from what you don’t want • Crisis Respite = Resting • Keeping people safe = Coercion • Skills to cope = Dealing with & maintaining status quo. • Problem Solving = Directing and advising

  7. How can we change what we’re currently doing? Change our Fear Based conversations to conversations that are Hope Based Fear Based = Moving Away from what we don’t want. Hope Based = Moving Toward what we do want!

  8. Fear-Based Response vs..Hope- Based Response When we’re afraid we want to contain or control the situation. We want things to feel comfortable. • When we respond out of fear we take power. • Fear is sometimes generated by outside forces and stories (such as by our community). • A hope-based response means that you and the other person see an opportunity to learn and grow. • A hope-based response is contingent on both people’s needs

  9. Learning Vs Help Assuming we are there to help assumes there is a problem (disconnect) Sometimes we “help” based on our own experience with help (worldview) Co-learning does not assume that either one is there to teach (mutuality) An emphasis on learning assumes growth (moving towards)
