Peer Connects: Book your place at our January to March 2025 events!
The updated version of our Peer Connects brochure includes new guest contributors and some of the learning from the programme so far.
Peer Connects is a series of free learning events and opportunities to connect and share with people passionate about the power of peer support! Exploring different themes and collaborating with a range of groups, organisations and services, we invite you to join us as together we celebrate, champion and develop peer support in Scotland.
I am blown away coming to these events and feeling empowered by it. It has a ripple effect.
