Peer Support Groups

Peer Support Groups enable members to share experiences, encouragement and advice on a particular topic. Informal, friendly and confidential, these events connect professionals who may be facing similar personal situations, experiences or challenges so they can support each other. Each group is lightly facilitated by a WorkLife Central team member.  There will be no ‘expert content’ and the focus of the group will be the sharing of personal experiences and provision of peer to peer support. Peer Support Groups are currently run online via Zoom Meetings.

These groups will:

  • Provide a safe confidential space to share experiences and support others in similar sometimes sensitive situations, under Chatham House Rule.
  • Follow good group discussion etiquette – listening well; being supportive and empathetic; positive and productive; and non-judgemental.
