Jacqui Dillon - Nourishing and sustaining Peer Support Groups in the community
About this Event

The power of peer support groups is widely acknowledged, but running groups can also be a difficult undertaking. Success requires fostering an inclusive environment that encourages open dialogue, active participation, and mutual respect among members - providing safe spaces where individuals can share experiences, offer support, solidarity, and build a strong sense of community both within the group and with wider allies.

This workshop provides an invaluable opportunity for reflection and debate, as well as being a supportive space to think about the opportunities and challenges for building a strong network of community peer support across Devon.
