What is Peer Support?
- A Peer is someone with whom we have something in common. This could be based on a specific diagnosis or condition, demographic or social characteristics, geographic location, core identity, or situational factors.
- Support is something we offer to one another, an expression of empathy, strength, and encouragement, rooted in shared experiences. This is uniquely defined by each family in a given time space and time and can change from season to season.
