PeerNetBC helps organizations develop effective groups and brings a peer support approach to community development initiatives. We address issues of diversity, power and oppression, and support people to use peer support in building personal strength and self-determining communities.

Perhaps the most dynamic and ever-changing program area, projects allow us to focus on a specific issue or population-specific group. All our community projects rely on solid partnerships and meaningful collaborations, and are aimed at bringing people with first-hand experience together around a particular issue.
