Peer Mentoring: A Workshop Series for Direct-Care Workers in Home and Residential Care
April 2006. PHI's Peer Mentoring curriculum focuses on three skill areas: leadership, communication, and problem-solving. The eight three-hour modules prepare mentors to:
- Model good caregiving skills, including a person-centered focus;
- Model effective communication and problem-solving skills;
- Help the mentor develop problem-solving skills;
- Support the mentee to build confidence in his or her abilities;
- Give mentees constructive feedback; and
- Provide mentees with current information about job responsibilities and the workplace.
The curriculum is highly interactive and learner-focused, using case studies and role plays to build skills. The facilitator's guide includes module goals, learning outcomes, step-by-step activity guides, and all necessary handouts. Hard copies: $95.
