Peer Support: getting started

Scottish Recovery Network

Join us for an introductory session with Q&A, exploring the foundations of peer support. Emma Jackson, Founder of Keep The Heid, will also be on hand to share her experiences of setting up and facilitating successful peer support groups.

Practical tips, free resources, and examples of Peer Support in Action to help you get started on your peer support journey!

Growing peer support. This Peer Connects event is for grassroots groups, small organisations, and individuals who are interested in starting a peer support group or learning more about peer support.

Due to our funding commitments, this event is for people working in Scotland, but learning will be shared in our newsletter and through the Peer Recovery Hub.

Online security and wellbeing

We will be using the video conferencing tool Zoom for this event. Your online security and wellbeing are our utmost priority. We will send out a secure Zoom link ahead of the event. If you want to call into this event on your phone (audio access) we can accommodate this.

Accessibility

If you have any accessibility or communication needs that would help you take part, please let us know. To book BSL Interpreters or Electronic Notetakers, we need two weeks’ notice.
