Peer Support

The key advantage of peer support in mental health lies in its ability to foster a unique and empathetic connection. Peers, who have experienced similar challenges, can offer understanding, validation, and shared coping strategies that professionals may not possess. This shared experience creates a sense of camaraderie, reducing isolation and promoting a more relatable and supportive environment for individuals facing mental health issues. Peer support emphasizes lived experiences, providing a valuable perspective that complements traditional therapeutic approaches and contributes to holistic mental health care.

Peer Support

Trained volunteers, who have personal experience with mental health conditions, lead our support groups. Each group comprises 6-8 individuals gathering to exchange knowledge, skills, and experiences. If you're in Uganda and wish to join a peer support group that resonates with your journey, please contact us at info@twogereug.org. A team member will reach out to you within 5 working days.
