Peer Support Network - Defining

Curious about how lived experience can drive change in the Highlands? Join us at our first Peer Network Event – Defining. It is the first in a series of three summits to be held over the next 9 months that explore the power and potential of peer support and peer research in Highland. This daylong event will bring together people from across Highland with shared passions to connect, reflect, and start shaping a bold, collective vision for Peer Support and lived experience. Whether you're new to peer approaches or already involved, this summit is your invitation to be part of something powerful that could change the way mental health support looks in Highland.
