Leadership Development Skills Training (Part 1)

Welcome to Part 1 of a two-part training series – Leadership Development Skills training!

This 3-day training from the Leadership Training Institute is integral in developing foundational leadership skills in HIV, Hep C, Harm Reduction, PrEP and our newest addition, Criminal Justice.

Training objectives:

As a result of this training, participants will be able to:

1. Define the meaning of leadership

2. List the 7 characteristics of leaders

3. Explain how leadership applies to the Certified Peer Worker (CPW) role

4. Conduct a self-assessment for leadership qualities and skills

Intended audience:

The LTI provides these courses 3 times per contract year to:

– Peers who are either Certified Peer Workers and/or are seeking Peer certification

– People who are non-physician health and human service providers, that work with people who are living with, or at risk for, HIV, HCV, STIs; LGBTQIA+/GNC, as well as people who are practicing Harm Reduction for a substance use disorder

– Social Workers, Nurses, Care Coordinators, Case Managers, Certified Peer Workers, people working in Behavior Health, PrEP educators, or supervisors of Peer workers

– Peers who are interested in taking the Intro to Peer Work, (1 day) which will help you decide if you want to pursue your certification, and if so, take the follow-up course which is Inventory to Peer Work (2 days).

Additional information:

There are 9 hours of CEU credits for anyone taking this course with the exception of non-certified Peer Workers, who are pursuing certification, which means there are no credits for this course until you become a Certified Peer Worker.

This course is not a prerequisite for taking Leadership Development Part 2. Both courses can stand alone depending on your needs in Leadership development.
