What are Peer Support Groups?

Peer Support Groups bring together people with similar experiences to connect and support each other. These groups are guided by a Wellbeing Practitioner and Volunteers. The purpose of these groups are to:

  • Bring together people with shared experiences
  • Provide a space where you feel accepted and understood
  • Treat everyone’s experiences as being equally important
  • Empower people to give and receive support

These groups can help you to:

  • Connect with others and give you a sense of belonging
  • Find joy and share humour with others
  • Socialise and meet other people
  • Open up to others
  • Build your self-esteem and confidence
  • Deal with day-to-day tasks
  • Find new ideas and approaches that others have found helpful
  • Find support in a non-medicalised setting
  • Feel more hopeful about the future

Peer Group Support provides a setting and activity to host conversations. Wellbeing Practitioners will provide opportunities and support for anyone in the group wishing to talk further about their struggles and successes.
