🌟 Welcome to the GM Expanded Peer Support Network – Face-to-Face Event! 🌟

You're invited to a dynamic in-person day designed specifically for the frontline workforce across Greater Manchester. This is a chance to connect, reflect, learn and recharge with peers who understand the reality of your role.

Why This Event Matters:

This is a valuable continued professional development (CPD) opportunity — it’s a space for you, built around what matters most in your work. Here’s what you’ll gain:

✅ Clinical Supervision – Led by a trained trauma-informed clinical supervisor, helping you build resilience and protect against compassion fatigue.

✅ Problem-Solving with Insight– This interactive session is a chance to pause, reflect, and explore practical ways forward on challenges you and your team are facing.

✅ Best Practice Resources – See what’s working well in other areas, find examples, and discover where the gaps are — and how we might fill them together.

✅ Cross-Role, Cross-Borough Conversations – Break the silos. Hear what’s happening in other localities, share ideas, and co-create new solutions.

✅ Guest Speakers, Resources, and Rich Learning – Take away new insights, access practical tools, and benefit from a packed day of opportunities to grow your knowledge and professional network.
