Peer MentoringPeer Mentoring: A workshop series for direct-care workers in home and residential care
PHI’s Peer Mentoring curriculum focuses on three skill areas: leadership, communication, and problem-solving. Eight modules prepare mentors to: 1) Model good caregiving skills; 2) Model effective communication and problem-solving skills; 3) Support the mentee to build confidence in his or her abilities; 4) Give mentees constructive feedback; and 5) Provide mentees with current information about job responsibilities and the workplace. The curriculum is interactive and learner-focused. The facilitator’s guide includes module goals, learning outcomes, step-by-step activity guides, and all necessary handouts.
