Monthly Online Meetings

WAPSN runs monthly online meetings for those working within the WA Peer Workforce.

These meetings bring Peer Workers from across WA to take part in mutual learning, networking, and collective professional debriefing.
Each month we will feature a key presenter from within the WA Peer Work Sector to discuss a topic of interest to the wider WA Peer Workforce.
These topics include discussions about new and emerging practices, updates and news within the Peer Work Space, and general insights beneficial to Peer Work Professional Development.

Each monthly meeting takes place within the final weeks of each month alternating on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Global Peer Supporters’ Celebration Day

 
 

The idea of a ‘national day’ for peer supporters began to take shape at the 2014 Annual International Association of Peer Supporters (iNAPS) conference in Atlanta, Georgia. This day of celebration, recognition, and reflection began when, the then National Director of Peer Support Services with the Veteran’s Administration, Dan O’Brien-Mazza discussed his idea at a membership meeting. His idea sparked much enthusiasm from other iNAPS members.

We now have Global Peer Support Celebration Day (GPSCD), an annual celebration of peer supporters, peer support, and recognizing their work in helping their peers with mental health, addictions, and or trauma-related challenges move along the continuum of recovery and inclusion into communities of his/her choosing. This annual, worldwide event takes place annually on the third Thursday in October.

Each year, the WA Peer Supporters’ Network hosts the Global Peer Supporters’ Celebration for Perth. The day is a time to celebrate the amazing efforts made by our Peer Workers and Peer Supporters over the past twelve months.

Keep an eye out for this year’s event announcement!
