Four participants from the Growing Lives project have successfully completed Peer Mentoring training, gaining the skills and confidence to support others as part of their ongoing development.
The training was designed and delivered in‑house by Derventio’s Senior Training Mentor, Joe Michael. Across a series of structured sessions, participants explored the role of a mentor, professional and personal boundaries, safeguarding responsibilities, recording and reporting concerns, confidentiality, empathetic listening, and effective communication.
Each participant fully engaged with the training and completed the course. They were presented with a certificate of completion and a dedicated Peer Mentor ID badge, recognising both their achievement and their new role within Growing Lives.
This milestone represents an important step for the individuals involved and for the wider Growing Lives community, strengthening peer support and creating new opportunities for participants to contribute, lead, and support others.
