Peer Connects: going the distance - making peer support sustainable

Scottish Recovery Network

Peer support is most effective when the right conditions are in place. What does it take to make peer support sustainable within your group, service or community?

This participative event will explore the key elements that help peer support thrive. We’ll hear from Emma Watson, Service Manager about the innovative Hope Point (Penumbra) in Dundee.

Book in for a chance to meet with other people passionate about peer support and explore practical tips and examples to help peer support flourish.

Sharing what's possible. This Peer Connects event is for anyone involved in developing, delivering, or supporting 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.
