Mead and Copeland define Peer Support as:
“Peer support is not like clinical support, and it is more than just being friends. In peer support we understand each other because we’ve ‘been there,’ shared similar experiences and can model for each other a willingness to learn and grow. We come together with the intention of changing unhelpful patterns, getting out of ‘stuck’ places, and building relationships that are respectful, mutually responsible, and, potentially, mutually transforming. This allows us to try out new behaviours with one another and move beyond the ‘illness culture’, where we are defined as sick and disabled, into a culture of health and ability.” (Mead and Copeland, 2004)
Walking is a great way to meet new friends and keep your mind and body sharp.
