Peer Support

Peer Support is a way of connecting with people who have gone through similar things in life. People can come together to socialise, learn and support each other. The special thing about Peer Support is that everyone is equal.

Peer Support can happen in a lot of different ways like:

• Social groups
• Learning sessions and creative workshops
• One-to-one catch ups
• Advocacy and advisory work
• Volunteering or mentoring
• Online communities
• Celebratory events

Peer Support is not about fixing problems. It is about being with other people who might understand, and feeling heard and accepted.

Peer Support can help people feel less alone and more hopeful about the future. It can be good to spend time with people who have been through similar experiences. And it can help people feel part of a community.

We now have Peer Support at Future Pathways. This is open to anyone who is registered with the service, including people who are on our waitlist.
