What is peer support ?

“Peer support is person-centred and underpinned by strength-based philosophies. The life experience of the peer-support-worker creates common ground from which the trust relationship with the person is formed.

Empowerment, empathy, hope and choice along with mutuality are the main drivers in purposeful peer support work.

There is a great deal of strength gained from knowing someone who has walked where you are walking and now has a life of their choosing.

In this way it is different from support work, it comes from a
profoundly different philosophical base.”

“Peer support is based on the belief that people who have faced, endured and overcome adversity can offer useful support, encouragement, hope and perhaps mentorship to others facing similar situations”

Male survivors and peer support

“We are all social beings by nature – connectedness and community are necessary if not vital to our wellbeing.

The very existence of positive social relationships can be a source of healing for many psychological wounds.

Because sexual abuse and sexual assault occurs in relative secrecy – in a state of disconnection between people – reconnecting and building
trust are often at the core of healing from sexual violence.

Some survivors turn to peer support initiatives to build connection and heal”
