This training is specifically designed to prepare Peer Professionals to work in crisis services (telephone, mobile, walk-in, and residential). Topics covered include the Mental Health Procedures Act, roles and responsibilities of a Peer Professional in crisis services, de-escalation, and suicide assessment and prevention.
