National peer-support network
This network is a coming together of individuals, organisation's and services with a shared goal; the practice and promotion of peer support across all communities in Scotland. We all bring our unique experiences, identities and responsibilities, coming from diverse backgrounds and communities. Building on this experience, which will grow as this network grows, we will facilitate, share good practice, & support the supporters, ensuring that peer in Scotland can grow and develop. It is our aim to create a Scotland wide peer community to promote the power of peer working, with a voice in Scotland and beyond. Towards this aim, we want to bring together peer practitioners, leaders and volunteers and capture the interest and passion of anyone who wishes to create peer connections. In doing so we will model peer practice together: sharing ideas and resources and supporting each other through challenges and struggles.
