What is Family Peer Support?
Family Peer Support is at the heart of what we do. It means support from someone who truly understands because they have been there too. Our trained Family Peer Support Workers are parents and caregivers with lived experience supporting a child or youth with mental health and/or substance use challenges. They listen without judgment, share what has helped them, and offer connection, understanding, and care.
