Peer Support Training
Mentor others on their own journey
Rogue Retreat provides trainings on the Fundamentals of Peer Support to equip learners with skills to mentor other adults who are seeking support with drug or alcohol recovery. Graduates are able to share tools and lessons they have learned from their own struggles while helping others to transform their lives. Many times, students find that peer support not only helps them contribute positively to the lives of others but also furthers their own recovery and wellbeing.
