Haga clic en ese botón para acceder al formulario de solicitud de esta capacitación. \nLa solicitud abre:el viernes 6 de diciembre de 2024 a las 12:00pm del mediodía \nFecha límite de presentar su solicitud es: el viernes 3 de enero de 2025 a las 12:00pm del mediodía \n  \nYa se entregaron 50 solicitudes o la fecha límite para entregar su solicitud ha pasado. No se puede considerar más solicitudes para esta capacitación. \n  \nPosibilidad de cerrar la ventana para aceptar solicitudes: \nSe considerarán un máximo de 50 solicitudes. Si se reciben 50 solicitudes antes de la fecha límite de solicitud (ver arriba)\, el formulario de solicitud se cerrará automáticamente y no se recibirán solicitudes adicionales. \n  \nDeterminar la elegibilidad y la idoneidad\nSe requiere lo siguiente para ser elegible para solicitar participación en esta capacitación de CPS: \n\nDebe identificarse como si hubiera atravesado una experiencia personal de desafíos de salud mental y/o uso de sustancias.\nDebe ser Participante o Líder Comunitario de Escucha tus Emociones\nDebe tener al menos un diploma de la escuela preparatoria o un equivalente de GED\nDebe tener 18 años de edad o más.\n\nSe seleccionarán entre 20 y 22 participantes para esta capacitación. Para ser considerado para la selección\, debe cumplir con los requisitos básicos de elegibilidad anteriores\, enviar un formulario de solicitud y completar una entrevista. No hay costo de inscripción a la capacitación para los participantes. \nSolicitar esta o cualquier capacitación de CPS no garantiza la selección como participante. \nLas solicitudes recibidas son revisadas en su totalidad por los entrenadores\, y una variedad de criterios pueden determinar si se le pide a un solicitante que se entreviste y posiblemente participe en una capacitación. Estos incluyen\, entre otros: \n\nSi el solicitante cumple o no con los requisitos básicos de elegibilidad para convertirse en un Especialista Certificado en Apoyo entre Pares (18 años o más\, posee un diploma de escuela preparatoria o GED\, es residente de Wisconsin\, tiene experiencia personal de primera mano en el manejo de la salud mental o el uso de sustancias).\nSi el solicitante cumple o no con los requisitos secundarios de elegibilidad que son específicos de la capacitación (pertenece al condado\, tribu\, región y/o comunidad atendida por la capacitación en particular).\nSi el solicitante está buscando empleo o ya está empleado en un puesto de apoyo entre pares y/o en una función de supervisión de CPS (las capacitaciones están destinadas a servir a los esfuerzos de desarrollo de la fuerza laboral como parte de una iniciativa de empleo).\nSi el solicitante es o no un miembro de la comunidad que busca utilizar sus experiencias personales para apoyar a otros en su recuperación/bienestar/vida significativa.\nQué tan bien el solicitante es capaz de demostrar una comprensión de los principios de recuperación\, especialmente de tal manera que apoye la autodeterminación de las personas con experiencia vivida.\nSi el solicitante tiene o no experiencia ofreciendo apoyo entre pares en un entorno profesional o personal.\n\nDebido a que esta capacitación es un requisito previo para registrarse para el examen CPS aprobado por el estado y una vía para trabajar en una función profesional de apoyo entre pares\, es posible que las solicitudes que demuestren lo siguiente no tengan prioridad en el proceso de revisión de solicitudes: \n\nSolicitantes que buscan esta certificación simplemente como refuerzo para su currículum.\nSolicitantes que buscan obtener la certificación pero no continuar trabajando en el rol de CPS o supervisor de CPS.\nSolicitantes que deseen utilizar esta capacitación como el “siguiente paso en su recuperación”.\nSolicitantes que demuestran que no apoyan muchos caminos hacia la recuperación.\nSolicitantes que solo buscan certificación para facturar como CPS mientras brindan servicios que no son CPS.\n\nConsideraciones\nLe recomendamos que se familiarice con la función de un especialista certificado en apoyo entre pares antes de presentar su solicitud. Haga clic aquí para obtener más información sobre el papel y el trabajo de un especialista certificado en apoyo entre pares. \nCompletar y enviar la solicitud en línea\nEn primer lugar\, es altamente recomendado que complete y envie el formulario de solicitud de capacitación en línea utilizando una computadora de escritorio o una tableta y no un teléfono inteligente. \nEs importante que responda todas las preguntas requeridas (marcadas con un asterisco*) en el formulario de solicitud de capacitación en línea. También existen requisitos de formato con respecto a las fechas y otras respuestas (como\, por ejemplo\, la dirección de correo electrónico). Si las respuestas obligatorias no se responden en el formulario de solicitud o se ingresa las respuestas incorrectamente\, se registrará como un error y su solicitud no nos será enviada cuando presione el botón “enviar”. \nEsto es lo que sucede si intenta enviar una solicitud con errores: \n\nEl solicitante presiona el botón “enviar”\nEn lugar de ser redirigido a la “página de envío de solicitudes”\, la página del formulario de solicitud de capacitación se vuelve a cargar.\nEsta página ahora contiene texto que le dice al candidato que algunas respuestas se ingresaron incorrectamente (es posible que el solicitante deba desplazarse hacia abajo para ver este mensaje).\nLas respuestas faltantes o completadas incorrectamente se resaltan en rojo.\nEl solicitante debe corregir los errores y volver a enviar su solicitud.\nUna vez solucionados los errores con éxito\, aparecerá la página de envío de la solicitud con una marca de tiempo (le recomendamos imprimir o guardar una captura de pantalla de esta página cuando aparezca) y se enviará una copia de la solicitud a la dirección de correo electrónico del solicitante que proporcionó junto con un esquema de los próximos pasos.\n\nTenga en cuenta: si el formulario de solicitud o la página del evento se vuelve a cargar en lugar de la “página de envío de solicitud”\, hay algún problema con su solicitud y deberá seguir las instrucciones para solucionar cualquier error. \nQué esperar después de presentar la solicitud\nUna vez que haya pasado la fecha límite de aceptar solicitudes o se hayan recibido 50 solicitudes (lo que ocurra primero)\, se enviarán las solicitudes a los entrenadores para que las revisen. Los entrenadores se comunicarán con hasta 30 solicitantes del grupo total de solicitantes para citar entrevistas virtuales. Luego seleccionarán una cohorte final de participantes en la capacitación después de realizar las entrevistas virtuales. Aunque se contactará a un máximo de 30 personas para entrevistas\, todos pueden esperar recibir noticias sobre la decisión final con respecto a su solicitud. \nTenga en cuenta que puede llevar algún tiempo finalizar la selección de participantes y le pedimos paciencia. Las decisiones finales de selección para esta capacitación no se podrán tomar hasta el viernes 24 de enero de 2025.
