Certified Peer Specialist TRAINING COURSE

Provide these instructions after each round: “Okay everyone, you’re going to stay in your exact same roles. Listeners, I would like you to move one person to your left. Introduce yourself to your new partner and begin the exact same sequence as before.” 5. After about one minute, ask listeners to move again one person to the left. This continues for a total of eight rounds. 6. After eight rounds, provide the following instructions: “Now, we’re going to switch roles. For those of you who have been listening and reflecting, you are going to be in the speaker role, get your index card ready. For those of you who have been in the speaker role, you will now be the listener. You will have two opportunities to reflect the peer statement. First pass, start with a simple reflection, then second pass deepen it, make a guess about the underlying meaning, and try different complex reflections. Okay, go ahead and begin.” 7. Same process as before. Ask the new listener to move one person to the left after each one-minute round. This continues for a total of eight rounds. 8. After the 16 rounds, facilitate a large group debrief while everyone is still standing [focus on participant experiences in the listening role]. Ask the listeners: “How did that go in the listening role?” “How were you able to develop your reflective listening skills?” “What did you learn about your listening in this activity?” “What do you want to continue to work on as a listener?”
