From developing coping skills and strategies to managing emotions, peer support in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough is here to improve your wellbeing by utilising your own experiences to help others.
What are peer support groups?
At CPSL Mind, we encourage people across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough to sign up for peer support groups for mental health because they connect anyone in the local community who has experiences of hearing voices, low wellbeing, and personality disorder. Benefits of joining a peer support group include:
- Understanding and managing your wellbeing
- Team understanding first-hand what you’re feeling
- Sharing experiences to support each other
Not sure if a mental health peer support group is right for you? We spoke to Kate, an attendee of our Wellbeing Peer Support Group, who said: “It was good to talk to people, share stories, check in, and support each other. You feel like you are not on your own anymore, that you belong somewhere where you are understood.”
If you’re interested in finding out more about Kate’s experience, read our “Peer Support Has Changed My Life” article here.
