Development of volunteer mentor program manual Miller Moyse, Gwen A volunteer mentor program manual was developed for the use of Vanier Collegiate, targeting high school students as volunteers to work with elementary aged children. Research on mentor programming indicated that organized and structured programming, similar to Big Brothers/Big Sisters’ model, is more likely to achieve successful outcomes. The manual closely followed the recommendations in order to emulate this success and to minimize any potential harm to youth receiving services.

Knowledge.spirit.strength: we are teachers to each other Peterson, Terri No abstract supplied by the author. Abstract created by the cataloguer from information contained in the Introduction. This document describes the stories, hopes, and intentions of a local practitioner and a community of Métis students. It illustrates an empowerment based approach to community work informed by both narrative ideas and the sharing traditions of the Aboriginal people of Saskatchewan. Over the last several months, the students of SUNTEP (Saskatchewan Urban Native Teacher Education Program) have explored and documented their narratives of struggle and determination with the dream of inspiring local Aboriginal youth and addressing social inequities within the larger community. Using the cultural and narrative custom of sharing, the students created a collective document describing the hopes, knowledge, and skills of their community to distribute among their many neighbors.

Peer specialist training: integration of peer support in mainstream mental health Nugent, Marcie Marie Consumer involvement has become the holy grail of mental health services. Research shows that the use of consumer peer supporters delivers similar outcomes in recovery to mainstream mental healthcare. The effectiveness for peer support in outcome achievement is attributed to the flexibility, creativity, and ability to connect on a deeper level with their peers through the sharing of their own lived experience. Despite the evidence of the effectiveness of consumer providers, the mainstream mental health system is slow to integrate their usage. The purpose of this project was to develop a training program for peer specialists in mental health that embodies the recovery model, and allows for flexibility and creativity that makes peer supporters effective. The aim of this project is to provide a resource for agencies embarking on integrating peer specialists into their own service delivery system.
