Stigma-Free Society’s mission is to offer educational tools and leadership which foster awareness of stigma around mental health, providing pathways to change. Rural Peer Support Fundamentals Training is one of the ways that we work to reduce stigma around mental health by training people within rural and agricultural communities on the fundamentals of peer support and how to implement a peer support group within one’s community.
We are excited to inform you about our upcoming Rural Peer Support Fundamentals Training, offered over two days on April 23 and 30 from 8:30amPDT – 3:00pmPDT/10:30amCDT – 5:00pmCDT.
