CMHA Campus Peer Support Training

Shared by CMHA National 

The Campus Peer Support training and resources was originally developed by CMHA National for a three-year pilot program beginning in 2021 and is now available for free to post-secondary institutions. The curriculum, materials, and resources can be adapted to the needs of each campus —whether launching a new peer support program or enhancing existing training for peer supporters.  

When marketing the program and any of its resources, the Canadian Mental Health Association must be cited.  

Questions about the Campus Peer Support training resources can be directed to Katherine Warzecha, National Project Portfolio Manager [email protected] CMHA National.
