Peer counseling training and continuing education workshops are offered continually; there were close to 1200 training hours in 2018, with an aggregate attendance of 2848. Volunteer leadership retreats with educational and personal growth components are offered twice a year. Paraprofessional skill and personal growth retreats for all volunteers are offered every other year. Leadership Intensive Training, for women who will be the primary trainer of the Basic Peer Counseling Training curriculum in their home communities, is offered annually.
