Restored Connections Peer Center is excited to announce that our Executive Director, Stephanie Cameron, will be presenting at the GOBHI Peer Workforce Conference in Pendleton, Oregon this year.
The need to build strong peer leadership has never been greater. This workshop will focus on developing peer leaders from the very first stages of onboarding and continue supporting that growth throughout employment, professional development, and advancement opportunities.
Peer professionals bring incredible strengths, lived experience, resilience, and transferable skills into the workforce. When those are recognized and nurtured through a strength-based employment model, the possibilities are endless.
At Restored Connections, we believe leadership development begins on day one. By identifying individual strengths, passions, and career goals early, organizations can create meaningful pathways that support growth from entry-level positions to leadership roles. Investing in people, providing opportunities, and fostering supportive workplace cultures helps build not only stronger employees, but stronger peer programs and stronger communities.
We are honored to share the strategies and lessons learned from over a decade of developing peer leaders and building sustainable workforce pathways throughout the WillametteValley. We look forward to connecting with colleagues from across the state and continuing the conversation about the future of peer-delivered services.
