Please join us in honoring the most recent class of parent-peer supporters at our virtual graduation celebration this Friday, March 22, from 1 to 1:30 p.m. The number of parent-peer supporters in the state is gradually and steadily growing; this class is the biggest one to date. We hope you will celebrate with and get to know our newest graduates!
We invite our state agency partners, mental health and other system providers, current parent-peer supporters and anyone interested in parent-peer support to attend graduation. It’s a wonderful way to learn more about parent-peer support and how it helps the care system for children. And calling all MAP Team Coordinators: graduation is a great way to meet parents who might want to serve on your MAP team.
We appreciate the Mississippi Department of Mental Health’s financial and programmatic support for this training and parent-peer support in general. It is also exciting to see parent peer support growing across systems.
We encourage any parent interested in parent-peer support to consider future training. You can learn more about what the virtual training covers and who is qualified to take it in this brochure.
We offer a special thank you to all the mental health providers implementing parent-peer support in their agencies. Families as Allies is here for you, too! We can support you with recruitment training, supervision and programmatic needs and issues. You can call us any time, and we can provide more in-depth technical assistance. We encourage anyone who works with parent-peer supporters to attend our Parent-Peer Support Conversation for Anyone Working with Parent-Peer Supporters on April 25 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. CDT.
