Training

KPSN currently provide tailored Recovery Educational Programmes throughout Kerry. We are an approved WRAP ® (Wellness Recovery Action Plan) Training Centre. WRAP ® can help people to set their own agenda to promote their own positive mental health by helping them to identify their own needs and wants, and give them the tools and life skills to move forward and maintain that wellbeing. Learning something new can boost your self-confidence, self-esteem and give you a purpose in life.

Available Courses

W.R.A.P® Workshop (Level 1)

KPSN has Copeland Centre Accredited Facilitators who facilitate a 2 day Level 1 Workshop. These Workshops can be attended by anyone interested in learning techniques to maintain their mental wellness. You do not have to be a service user to apply for this training course.

Peer Leader Training

If you’re interested in learning more about Mental Health and Co-Facilitating a group of like-minded people, then KPSN’s Peer Leader Training may be for you. This is an 8 week Training Programme where you learn about group dynamics and group facilitation in a confidential, supportive and non-judgemental environment.

PROGRESSION

Moving On With Your Journey

After building on the Peer Support Training people have been offered further training in the form of Wellness Recovery Action Planning (WRAP®) and are now accredited WRAP® facilitators with the Mary Ellen Copeland Centre. WRAP® has been delivered at several venues throughout the county since it has been established.
KPSN members have also been invited to sit on several KMHS (Kerry Mental Health Services) committees ranging from policy to risk management.
Two of our members are now Advanced Copeland accredited Level 2 Facilitators and many more have trained with us to become WRAP® Facilitators.
