Peer Mental Wellness 

Peer & Peer+ Groups

Each meeting is one hour long, and is facilitated by a peer, a therapist or a therapist-in-training who have faced a mental wellness challenge themselves.  All Peer Facilitators have attended peer groups, and have completed Mental Health First Aid training. Peer+ Facilitators may draw on their psychotherapy training, as well as their own lived experience. 

In a meeting, each person may – but doesn’t have to – share how their mental wellness is affecting them.  They can then get feedback from another member, which is empathy or a technique which has worked for that other member… None of us will tell someone what they “should” do.

The groups are FREE and CONFIDENTIAL

Benefits

The groups have been very popular as they offer three significant benefits: 

  1. Members learn that they are not alone, and that there are others like them suffering;
  2. Members can unburden themselves to a sympathetic ear…rather than continue to over-burden their spouse or parents who don’t have the lived-history to help;
  3. Members can get real-world suggestions of techniques which others have used successfully.
