What is peer support?
“Peer support is people supporting others through a hard time, whether they are professionals or non-professionals, in a group setting or a 1-1. Some examples might look a bit more structured, like self-help groups or support helplines or recovery centres, but some day-to-day examples might just be bonding through shared experiences, like a baby and toddler group, or even just going for coffee with your friend and talking about your issues. But every peer supporter has one goal in mind, and that’s to support the person in need in an attempt to make them feel just a little bit less vulnerable.”
