What is Peer Support?
Peer support occurs between people share their experiences, vulnerable emotions, give social support, knowledge, and connect others to helpful available resources. Peer supporters are trained in a variety of disciplines, including behavioral health. Peer support can be found in all types of professions, and it is especially common in military and Veteran groups. This webinar will focus on military and Veteran peer support, discuss why it's important, how it can help, and identify resources for accessing peer support, as well as how to become a trained peer supporter.
