RTP Next Steps is a 4-day highly interactive training designed for advanced Peer Specialists to gain new skills and experiences, learn with and from each other, and come to a common understanding of recovery through some of the current best practices in peer support. RTP Next Steps uses a Collaborative Learning approach and involves outside preparation. In Collaborative Learning, the participants are the “content experts” and the facilitators are guides to set up experiences that allow the participants to share their working knowledge of each area that is being explored. By applying to this training, you are agreeing to participate fully in the Collaborative Learning environment.
