Bridges, Not Barriers is a 2 part mini-course designed to equip Peer Support Professionals with the tools, strategies, and insight needed to support families navigating complex systems and individual challenges. Participants will explore the key characteristics that define effective peer support, and gain practical skills for fostering trust, building resilience, and supporting sustainable change in families facing systemic challenges. 

This opening session explores the unique qualities and lived experiences that shape truly impactful Peer Support Professionals. We’ll examine how peers differ from clinicians and service providers, and why that difference matters deeply to the families they serve. We will address how best to support families and individuals who may be struggling through many situations such as navigating loss, domestic abuse, and/or exiting treatment services.
