Going the distance: making peer support sustainable

Peer support is most effective when the right conditions are in place. What does it take to make peer support sustainable within your group, service, or community?

This participative event will explore the key elements that help peer support thrive. We’ll hear from Emma Watson, Service Manager about the innovative Hope Point (Penumbra) in Dundee.

Book in for a chance to meet with other people passionate about peer support and explore practical tips and examples to help peer support flourish.

Sharing what's possible. This Peer Connects event is for anyone involved in developing, delivering, or supporting peer support.

Due to our funding commitments, this event is for people working in Scotland, but learning will be shared in our newsletter and through the Peer Recovery Hub.
