Lunch and Learn: Introduction to peer support

Scottish Recovery Network is collaborating with Edinburgh Voluntary Organisations' Council (EVOC) to deliver a free one hour online lunch and learn session that will introduce the role of peer support in community-based mental health and wellbeing.

Details of the Scottish Government’s Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund in Edinburgh are still to be announced, but this is a great time to explore how peer support could strengthen your work.

Bring your lunch and join us to explore the power of peer support. We’ll be sharing practical information, free resources and examples of community-based peer support in action!

Who is this session for

This session is for those who are curious about peer support and involved in or planning community-based mental health and wellbeing projects. This session is for people who are living and / or working in Edinburgh.

Online security and wellbeing
