APPROACH
Peer support groups
Structured groups where people with similar experiences share support under trained facilitation.
WHAT SESSIONS MAY INCLUDE
- An introduction to group norms - confidentiality, respect, and voluntary sharing.
- Structured time for members to share experiences and what has helped them.
- A facilitator who keeps the space safe and makes sure no single person dominates.
- No pressure to speak - many people attend several sessions before sharing anything.
Session information
Sessions are usually confidential and led or co-led by a trained facilitator, not just an informal chat.
