PEER SUPPORT
Peer support fosters a community where individuals with similar experiences can provide and receive emotional, informational, and practical assistance. With shared experiences, empathy, and a non-judgemental approach, peers receive mutual support, enhancing their well-being, knowledge, and resilience.
Peers
Peers offer each other empathy, guidance, and ideas based on their own experiences. They foster a supportive environment where everyone feels valued and understood. Peer support can be formal or informal. Certain types of peer support require certification, while others rely solely on lived-experiences.
Activities
Activities within a peer support group may include:
- Facilitated and informal discussions.
- Mentorship and guidance.
- Group events with guest speakers.
- Group outings and social events.
- Virtual gatherings and activities.
- Developing educational resources.
