New programs
The Community Engagement Committee was active for the year developing a series of monthly Education Capsules that focus on topics relevant for trained peer supporters to continue enhancing their skills. Each capsule offers a free follow-up interactive discussion allowing the individual to explore in depth what they learned from the capsule and an opportunity to network with their peers
