Vision Boards for Personal Growth and Discovery

This workshop will guide participants through the creation of personal vision boards as a tool for self-discovery, emotional healing, and recovery. Vision boards are visual representations of goals, values, and dreams that can help individuals struggling with emotional or mental health challenges, or in recovery from addiction, to reconnect with their aspirations. Participants will use images, words, and symbols to create a board that reflects their personal journey and goals, fostering motivation and hope. Sharing and discussing these visions in a supportive, non-judgmental environment can create an opportunity for healing and connecting that peer supporters can offer in a variety of settings.

Following more than six years of participatory action activities at peer support workforce conferences, three researchers and practitioners with lived experience, Jeremy Reuling, Rita Cronise, and Jessica Wolf, have developed an Action Agenda identifying ten critical peer support workforce priorities with specific recommendations for action based on what they heard from members of the workforce. During this webinar, they will share what they’ve learned so far. They will summarize the Top Ten Peer Workforce Priorities and action recommendations for peer specialists, supervisors, employers, policy makers, and allies. Webinar attendees will be encouraged to consider how they can utilize the Action Agenda and share what they can do in their own roles to improve peer workforce career advancement opportunities and working conditions.
