Support House’s Centre for Innovation in Peer Support provides wellness based, peer-led self-help and social connections programming to community members; and support to organizations who have peer staff, through training in peer-support program implementation, capacity-building, evaluation, research, knowledge brokerage, and quality improvement.
The Centre continues to ensure that the lived experience of people and the values (fidelity) of peer support work are viewed as assets that facilitate the journey of individuals to what they see as health and good quality of life. (Life worth living). With those values and priorities, the Centre continues to champion social and healthcare change that fosters person-directed care to ensure every person will be recognized, appreciated and respected for the unique person they are on their unique journey; and to ensure that care provision is adaptable to the fluctuations in peoples’ wellness and needs.
We use Zoom Healthcare which allows us the nimbleness we need to meet the virtual need. We also created a toolkit to help other across the province. It is called:
Our Virtual World- A Toolkit for Implementing Virtual Group Services
