Building Capacity for Peer-Led Groups
PeerNetBC’s interactive and dynamic workshops are planned so participants learn from each other, gain knowledge through practicing skills in a safe environment, and get to know others who are experiencing the same challenges or addressing the same issues. We design workshop and small group processes that create safe spaces to encourage open discussions, balance perspectives and include all voices.
