Description
Youth peer support workers provide support based on their lived experience with mental health or substance use. Unlike a doctor, they don’t give medical advice or diagnoses, but offer emotional understanding and guidance. Unlike a friend, they follow a professional framework, with specific training, supervision, and ethical standards to ensure their support is effective, safe, and helpful.
Your gift provides one day of youth peer support at hubs like Kickstand and creates a space where young people can feel heard without judgement.
