Peer support can be transformative, but only when the right conditions are in place. This webinar will explore the key enablers that help peer support grow and thrive, as well as the barriers that can make progress more challenging.

Sharing learning from our work on the ground and our Peer Support in Scotland: Insight Report 4, this is a chance to reflect on what we know and what needs to happen to make peer support sustainable in Scottish services and communities.


Growing peer support. This Peer Connects webinar is for anyone involved in developing, delivering, or supporting peer support in Scotland, whether in services, communities, or grassroots groups, including Peer Workers, Managers, Planners, and Commissioners.
