Partners for Progress peer support program

“I guess the goal is to get people out in the community to discover new ways of connecting with other people that are beneficial to both peer and peer supporter. It’s very much a mutually beneficial type of arrangement.” -Peer Supporter Partners for Progress is a peer support program which matches volunteers who have experienced serious mental health problems with people who are facing similar issues. Participants do recreational activities together and develop mutually beneficial and supportive relationships, which can combat isolation and loneliness.
