Peer Support - Creating Hope

Scottish Recovery Network

Together, we’ll celebrate and share what’s been achieved through the first three years of the Creating Hope with Peer Support project, and look ahead at what’s needed to ensure peer support continues to grow as a vital part of suicide prevention in Scotland.

Expect a day full of energy, connection and learning, where you’ll hear directly from peer groups and services across the country. Following the Creating Hope with Peer Support Pathway, we’ll explore:

• Connect – how peer support brings people together and builds understanding

• Explore – how peer approaches can transform how we prevent suicide

• Hope – the difference peer support makes to people affected by suicide

• Support – what’s needed to keep peer support growing and influencing Scotland’s approach to suicide prevention

To close the day, we’ll be joined by Tom Arthur, Minister for Social Care and Mental Wellbeing, who will listen, reflect and learn from those leading the way in peer support and suicide prevention across Scotland.

We want you to leave feeling hopeful, inspired and part of what comes next.

Who is this event for?

This event is open for anyone to attend but would particularly benefit:

• Peer support workers, services and organisations across Scotland

• Local suicide prevention leads

• Mental health professionals

• Third sector interfaces, national and local mental health services/organisations

• NHS and Health & Social Care Partnership leaders

Lunch and refreshments will be provided.

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