Hi guys,
Looking for all those that are intending to study in 2025 to complete the cert IV Mental Health Peer Work.
This is a space for our study group, where we can discuss what we are studying and hopefully get some input from current Sane Peer support workers.

guys this early afternoon I’ve applied to volunteer as a crisis supporter at one of the crisis support services and they’ve accepted my application on the same day that I’ve applied and I’m now at the stage where I need to complete a police check and a working with children or working with vulnerable people check. Lucky I already obtain a working with children check so I won’t need to apply for that one again. I really can’t wait to see what I’m gonna be doing for this volunteer role soon, and also can’t wait for the orientation!!

Awesome! I put myself down for training in a similar role last year but when the training opened up in January this year, I just felt I had too much other stuff going on. I wish I could have still done it though. I'll be really interested to hear how you go with it all. I'm very excited for you, i think you could bring a lot to a role like that. Just remember to take care of yourself as well.

Thank you @MJG017 ❤️ and hopefully you can get back to doing it whenever you have the time too. I can’t wait to find out on what the experience of it will be like! I’m pretty sure it’s a 4 hour per fortnight shift according to the service from what it’s shown/mentioned on the application form when I applied for it.

I have my last assessment tomorrow. Hopefully I pass everything so that I don’t need to resubmit anything. Just have a couple of bits that need to be marked
