PSACC Knowledge Matrix for Peer Support Training Organisations
Peer Support Accreditation and Certification (PSACC) - Canada
This Knowledge Matrix provides an overview of the topics and learning that are considered critical by PSACC. It is designed to help training organizations create training that meets the Knowledge component of the PSACC Standards of Practice.
This Knowledge Matrix is designed to assist in the design of a training program that prepares prospective peer supporters for writing the PSACC Knowledge Assessment and participating in a practicum in preparation for certification by PSACC, and for the work of peer support. This Knowledge Matrix is based on the Knowledge Standard of the PSACC Standards of Practice.
The PSACC Standards of Practise for peer support include a Code of Conduct and standards for Lived Experience, Knowledge, Competencies, and Acquired Experience. The PSACC Knowledge Standard identifies the type of information that a
peer supporter will need to know in order to be certified as a PSACC Certified Peer Supporter.
