A bit of background

The Scottish Government and COSLA'S Suicide Prevention Strategy and Action Plan – Creating Hope Together – recognises the valuable contribution of peer support in our communities.

The Creating Hope with Peer Support project brings people from across sectors and different walks of life together, to connect and explore the role peer support can play in suicide prevention.

With a focus on the power of lived experience to affect positive change, the project is working with a wide range of partners to boost peer support groups in communities across the country. It is helping to build capacity so that people and families affected by suicide can receive help at the earliest opportunity.
