This 6-hour interactive training strengthens the core values of belonging, respect, safety, and connection within peer-led and recovery-oriented environments. Participants develop trauma-informed and culturally responsive practices that build trust, engagement, and inclusion.

Through guided discussion, reflection, and collaboration, participants learn to foster environments where individuals feel valued and connected.
