What is peer support?

Peer support is a model of care where someone with lived experience listens and validates another person’s experiences and helps to empower that individual to make choices that are right for them about how to navigate the challenges they face. Consent-based and peer-driven, peer support has been shown to positively impact an individual’s health and wellness.
