We are very pleased to be running new Peer Support sessions and workshops in 2025.
There are Peer Support sessions every month. These are online and across Scotland. There is never any pressure to share your lived experience when you come to a Peer Support group. It is just about spending time with each other, connecting, meeting new people and building supportive relationships.
Taking part
There are limited spaces at all sessions and workshops. So if you would like to come along, please let Mary know. Mary is our Peer Support Lead.

Peer Support workshops 2025
We have 3 workshops about different topics. Not all the dates and venues are confirmed yet. But you can still let us know if you are interested. We will then contact you when the details are confirmed.
First Aid mini session
August, Glasgow
This will be run by St Andrew’s First Aid. We will be learning about first aid and CPR. CPR is when someone gives chest impressions to a person whose heart has stopped beating. You can get involved with some practical activities like doing CPR or applying a bandage. Or you can just watch. It is up to you. This session will last 2 hours and take place in Glasgow.
Mindfulness and Stress Management Workshop
October, online
A local provider will run the workshop. They have worked with Future Pathways before. We will do a short breathing meditation and will learn about how to manage everyday stress. You can do the mindfulness exercises, or just watch and learn. This workshop will last 2 hours and take place online, on Microsoft Teams.
Healthy Eating and Nutrition Workshop
December, Aberdeen
This workshop will be at the Aberdeen Science Centre. We will learn about why a healthy diet is important and how to eat a balanced diet on a budget. We will also learn about how healthy eating affects our mental health. This workshop will last 2 hours and take place in Aberdeen.
