'It is a mistake for any health decision makers to view peer support with tokenism as a ‘nice to have’, not strategically core in health strategies...To reap the benefits, peer support needs genuine recognition, respect, skills and resources.'

Peer support is powerful & it works. It’s a mutual relationship where people with shared experiences support each other especially as they move through challenging times.
