Hello. I won't be able to join after all which is a bit disappointing. I hope this peer session is held again.

I might introduce myself too 🙂 My name is Daisydreamer and my background is in peer support work. I started as a peer support worker (previously known as consumer consultants) in public mental health and community managed organisations 7 years ago, before making the jump to online peer support services such as ReachOut and now SANE 🙂 

 

Having worked with @HappyCastle and @Former-Member for the last few months, I am excited to learn from their experiences as we explore this important topic tonight!

Hey @Luckymoo, that's unfortunate- you'll be able to come back and read the whole conversation at a time that suits you, though, by coming back to this thread 😊

 

Also, if you're interested, the SANE Peer Support Team holds online peer group chats each fortnight - you can have a look at more info here! Smiley Happy

Hi @Smc and @Luckymoo

Completely understand- this discussion will stay up on the forums so you can come back and revisit it when you have some time

Re: Topic Tuesday // What peer support is and why it's great // Tues 11th May, 7:00-8:30PM AEST

Hi @Adge! Great to see you here 😊

Re: Topic Tuesday // What peer support is and why it's great // Tues 11th May, 7:00-8:30PM AEST

Let's get started with our first questions!

 

@HappyCastle Question 1: What is peer support and why is it important?

 

And for our community, have you heard of peer support? And if so what words come to mind when you think about peer support?
