This session is crafted for the queer and trans communities, providing a deep dive into the concept of peer support—a system where individuals with similar experiences provide support, grounded in empathy and shared understanding. Discover how this powerful form of support not only helps tackle the unique challenges and societal stigmas we face but also fosters a nurturing environment for emotional and mental well-being.

Join us to understand the role of peer support in enhancing community resilience. Whether you’re on the journey to find support or to become a supportive presence, this workshop will equip you with the necessary insights and tools to strengthen both your life and the wider community.

The “Power of Peer Support” is part of the Community Wellbeing Project. Community Wellbeing Project is a free and confidential Peer Support Service with an objective to strengthen community resources to respond to the emotional struggles we face as queer-trans individuals due to the stigma and discrimination from society and from our own families, friends and co-workers. This program is based on the principles and values of peer support such as lived experience as knowledge, subjectivity and involvement of self as a resource to work with distress and promote wellbeing.
