Connecting and learning

We bring people, services and organisations across sectors together to create a mental health system that embraces peer support and is powered by lived experience.

Peer Connects events 2026/27

This year’s programme includes webinars and in-person events that bring people together to strengthen peer support across Scotland. We’ll explore what helps peer support thrive – including leadership, lived expertise, and a supported peer workforce across communities, organisations and system-wide mental health services.

Peer Connects events

Peer Connects is a space to share learning, reflect on practice, and come together with others who care about growing peer support.

Developing peer support groups

This resource has been created to support people interested in developing peer support groups. It offers enough information to get you started and leaves space for your ideas and creativity. It provides room to design the activities you want to organise, set up, or deliver. It is interactive and features tools, templates, and case studies.

Lived experience sits at the heart of the resource. The content has been co-developed with people who are involved in facilitating and taking part in peer support groups and activities across Scotland.
