In September of 2016, myself and a number of others from my place of work - Mt. Seymour United Church - attending training to be Mental Health Peer Support Facilitators. We attended this Training with Sanctuary Mental Health Ministries.
I’m not a councillor, I’m not a therapist. What’s worked for me isn’t necessarily going to work for others.
I don’t have any answers, but I do know my own story and parts of it will match with others and we can understand each other. We can know we’re not alone.
That's what peer support is - creating a space that is safe and supportive so we can know we're not alone.
I am pleased that I will be a part of this, I know it will be good for me and I do hope that it will be good for others.
