1-2-1 Peer Support

For the duration of the conference, we were able to provide
limited 1-2-1 peer support from others with lived experience of mental distress and familiarity with the conference content, to talk through distress that arises from attending the conference.
​
For those unfamiliar with 'peer support' as an approach, and how it differs from professional therapy, this information may be of use.
