Workshop – Creating Hope with Peer Support in Perth & Kinross: 3 April

Want to build your skills and confidence in developing supportive peer relationships with people affected by suicide?

This Creating Hope with Peer Support workshop is a collaboration between Scottish Recovery Network and Mindspace

The workshop will start with an exploration of peer support and why it has a vital role to play in suicide prevention. We’ll look at the Creating Hope with Peer Support Pathway. This Pathway outlines four key stages of the peer support relationship and journey: Connect, Explore, Hope and Support.

This is a compassionate, gentle approach. It humanises suicide in that it doesn’t feel clinical.
