Provincial Peer Support Worker Training Curriculum (16 modules)
Self-determination is a value strongly supported in the mental health and substance use system, yet it is one that is not always fully explained. Self-determination is one of the foundational values of peer support. We will look at what self-determination is, the theory of self-determination, and how peer support workers can avoid simply giving advice, and instead support the creation of an ecology where people can begin to trust their own inner wisdom. An ecology that encourages self-determination means that people are able to tap into their intrinsic motivation and grow and thrive.
