Peer Connects: the power of peer - reality vs myth

Scottish Recovery Network

Join us to explore the difference that peer support can make whilst challenging the most common myths.

Peer support is powerful, but misconceptions can hinder its full potential. Is it just a chat? Does it replace professional support? Can anyone do it?

Join us to explore the difference that peer support can make whilst challenging the most common myths. Through open discussion and shared experiences, we’ll unpack misunderstandings and highlight what makes peer support unique.

An authentic look at this impactful approach to mental health recovery.

Lunch and refreshments will be provided.

Growing peer support. This Peer Connects event is for anyone interested in peer support who wants to deepen their understanding, challenge misconceptions, and strengthen how peer support is communicated and practiced in communities, services, and groups.

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.
