Who We Are
Peer Support is a system in which two or more people who have similar experiences help each other. This common experience allows for more authentic empathy and support. It is a system founded on key principles of respect, shared responsibility, and mutual agreement of what is helpful. In this relationship, neither person has more expertise as a supporter than the other. It is one of equality. This equality arises from the shared experience of emotional and psychological pain. Through mutual empowerment, the idea that each person is taking responsibility for their own recovery. The helping is mutual. A sense of community can be rebuilt and stigmas associated with mental illness can be overcome.
