Discover what peer support is and how it can benefit your community group in this interactive session hosted by Scottish Recovery Network and Engage Renfrewshire.

Event description

Peer support is a powerful approach that can help people with their mental health. It’s a mutual relationship where people with shared experiences support each other, especially as they move through challenging times.

With the Scottish Government announcing a new round of the Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund, including a commitment to two years of funding, now is a great time to explore how peer support could strengthen your work or application to the fund.

Join the Scottish Recovery Network for an interactive session exploring the power of peer support. We’ll share practical information, free resources, and examples of Peer Support in Action to help you get familiar with all things peer.

This session is for individuals involved in or planning community-based projects, as well as anyone curious about how peer support could enhance your current work.

Engage Renfrewshire is a Third Sector Interface (TSI); this means that we support local charities and other not-for-profit groups, so that they can do even more of what they’re good at. We empower organisations to be safe, resourceful and effective, and to grow and develop their services - meaning our communities are inclusive and aspirational.

We represent the third sector at a community planning level, provide an organisational hub, and offer financial services for individuals and organisations through our social enterprise Engage Finance. Furthermore, the Community And Voluntary Action Team work directly with local organisations and charities to increase their knowledge, resources and funding and to promote the services of our member organisations.
