Job summary Peer support is when people use their own experiences to help each other.
There are different types of peer support, but they all aim to bring together people with shared experiences to support each other, provide a space where you feel accepted and understood.
A peer supporter is someone that supports others by drawing on shared lived and life experiences rather than through professional interventions and approaches.
This mutual, reciprocal, recovery focused support often happens quite naturally as we meet others who have similar experiences - whether these experiences are social, familial, cultural, emotional or physical.
Peer Supporters are trained to provide safe, appropriate and effective peer support that is based on the strong value base underpinning peer support.
It is non-hierarchical, non-directive, person-centred, trauma-informed and relational.
