Peer Support
How can our Peer Support Workers compliment your treatment with Norfolk and Waveney Talking Therapies?
Meeting people who have had similar experiences can help us to feel less alone, restore our sense of hope and give us ideas of what we could do to support our recovery.
Peer Support Workers are members of staff that have been employed because of their own lived experience with mental health and recovery. Using their experience and training, Peer Support Workers are able to share what they have learned and help you find the support that is right for you. The sessions are led by you and you don't have to share anything you don't want to.
A Peer Support Worker:-
- Talks openly about their own experiences and recovery
- Explores ideas around recovery, and what this might mean for you
- Can help you to think about small goals you might like to set yourself and support you to achieve these
- Can support you to find and connect with other groups and organisations in the area
Peer Support may be accessed before, during, or after the support you receive from your therapist - contact them to find out more
