MPRC is an alliance of peer run mental health organizations - peer-run drop-in centers, peer recovery organizations and various advocacy groups.
Peer support encompasses a range of activities and interactions between people who share similar experiences of being diagnosed with mental health concerns, with or without co-occurring challenges. Peer support offers a level of acceptance, understanding, and validation not found in many other professional relationships (Mead & McNeil, 2006). It promotes connection and inspires hope.
By sharing their own lived experience and practical guidance, peer support workers help people to develop their own goals, create strategies for self-empowerment, and take concrete steps towards building fulfilling, self-determined lives for themselves.
