    Peer support is talking to people who are on the same level. By having conversations within the peer support group network it alleviates stress and trauma, to have peers with lived experiences that can inform others as well as having guests that come to meetings with knowledge and experience of relevant information that can be passed on to other peers and peer networks.”
