Peer Support
In this session, presenters will provide an overview of the peer support model for supporting people with mental illness and mental health conditions. This model relies on individuals living with mental illness providing support for others, drawing on their own experiences to promote wellness and recovery. Participants will learn about and have the opportunity to discuss best practices, challenges, and issues involved in peer support from different perspectives.
