Peer Support
Peer support groups provide opportunities for people with similar life experiences to meet and connect, to provide hope, and support each other. Peer support has been shown to be a valuable tool in supporting stroke survivors and caregivers in the long-term management of stroke by providing information, resources, and practical guidance on life after stroke.
Purpose of the Toolkit
The purpose of this resource is to guide teams within community organizations to establish or redesign peer support groups. This resource provides information, templates, and additional resources that you can use to support the design, delivery, and sustainability of a peer support group.
This resource is intended for teams within organizations that have some experience in designing and implementing programs in the community and may include teams from health systems, community services, or academic institutions. However, any team interested in starting a peer support program can benefit from understanding the steps involved.
