What is a peer support group?*

  • What it does do:

    • Validates peoples experiences

    • Reduces isolation

    • Provides opportunities to give and receive support

    • Fosters connections and a social support network

  • What it doesn't do:

    • Advise others on how to address their problems

    • Replace other forms of support such as therapy, treatment from a doctor or psychiatrist, or medications

    • Support everyone with every type of challenge - peer support groups are focused on a specific shared experience
