Leadership Development Skills Training (Part 2) (virtual)

This 2-day training is integral in developing leadership skills for people with shared lived- experience in HIV, Hep C, Harm Reduction, PrEP and our newest addition, Criminal Justice.

In this training program, we will continue to develop skills in applying Situational Leadership and emotional intelligence. Research has shown that leaders with high “EQ”, can understand their own emotions and how it affects their performance. Good leaders must be able to influence others and learning to control emotions allows us to understand and assist others in managing theirs as well.

The LTI provides these courses 3 times per contract year to Peers who are either Certified Peer Workers and/or are seeking Peer certification.

This training is also provided to people who are non-physician health and human service providers, who work with people who are living with, or are at risk for, HIV, HCV, STIs, the LGBTQIA+/GNC community, as well as people who are practicing harm reduction for a substance use disorder or returning to the community after incarceration.

This training can also include Social Workers, Nurses, Care Coordinators, Case Managers, Certified Peer Workers, people working in Behavior Health, PrEP educators, or supervisors of Peer workers.

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

There are 6 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 complete certification.

This course does not require taking Leadership Development Part 1. Both courses can stand alone depending on what your needs are in leadership development. (See Part 1 for description).
