Peer support is all about connecting individuals who have gone through similar experiences and allowing them to offer emotional support, share insights, and provide encouragement to one another.
At the SUDC Foundation, we believe that peer support can be incredibly effective, providing a sense of community and hope during a difficult time. Our Peer Friends are trained to offer empathy and compassion to families, using their own experiences to provide guidance and support.
It’s important to remember that peer support is not a substitute for professional counseling. However, it can provide additional support through common life experiences, helping families to feel less alone and more understood.
At the SUDC Foundation, we believe that peer support can complement professional services, providing families with a multi-faceted support system to help them navigate the grieving process.
We thank you for your interest in becoming a Peer Friend.
