What is “Peer Support”?
“Peer Support” encompasses a range of activities and interactions between people who have shared similar experiences. Peer support offers a level of acceptance, understanding, and validation not found in many other professional relationships. By sharing their own lived experience and practical guidance, peer workers help people to develop their own goals, create strategies for self-empowerment, and take concrete steps towards building fulfilling, self-determined lives for themselves.Who are we?
