[Natfinwellness] Peer Counselor Curriculm

[Megan Dzurec]

Hi Amy. I would advise to not do anything unless you have adequate training and supervision. Do you ever have grad students that could oversee your peer health educators? 

I'm happy to help you with any questions!

Nor do we have a huge budget to pay for them to complete the certification programs offered.  Are there any on-line courses or curricula that you'd recommend to give these students the foundation they need?   The thought is that once we get a core group trained they can train the future peer counselors, but how can we get the first group trained?
