“In our Peer Support groups, you can ask for feedback and share ideas that support your recovery.” – Peer Leader

What happens in groups?

Peer Support groups are a place where you can talk about the things that affect you, learn from others, find common ground and encourage your peers to make positive changes.

Each person introduces themselves and shares how they’re feeling. After a member shares, they are asked whether they are open to hearing feedback from the group. This discussion is the main part of the meeting, where you can discuss topics such as emotions, family, relationships, health, study, work, goals and more.

You can also speak to the Peer Leader for extra support/resources at the end of the meeting.

How can Peer Support make a difference in my life?

Peer Support gives you an opportunity to identify and reach your goals, meet positive role-models, find a sense of belonging, learn new skills, grow your confidence and learn about other supports – while helping others too.

The only requirements for joining are a willingness to participate by sharing experiences of recovery and a commitment not to be substance affected when you attend the group.
