Community of Practice sessions occur quarterly and offer additional educational opportunities and community support for peer supporters to improve their skills. Although not mandatory, they can keep your skills and knowledge refreshed for when you may be contacted to support a colleague. Sessions are typically facilitated by a leader within their field and can range from topics around self-care, mental and physical health, relationships, UW Medicine resources, among others. Sessions are typically held via Zoom.
