Description

Our Peer Support Services offer people living in the community the opportunity to increase their knowledge and resources by sharing experiences, strengths and information. It is not a clinical service.

One to One Peer Support
This involves regular meetings with a peer support worker to look at how we can support you to reach your goals.

Groups
These are facilitated by peer support workers with a lived experience. We provide a place where people meet, reconnect and support each other to move towards the life they want.
