Peer Support Around the World
People sharing similar experiences have a great deal to offer each other.
Chronic diseases and many other conditions can encompass all aspects of people’s lives. Support from peers can offer ongoing emotional, social, and practical assistance to help people continually stay healthy. Peer support complements and enhances other health care services.
Starting from addressing the growing global diabetes epidemic, Peers for Progress advances and promotes peer support programs around the world by:
- Extending the evidence base for peer support
- Establishing peer support as a core component of health care and prevention.
- Building a network of peer support organizations around the world.
Our Mission:
To accelerate the availability of best practices in peer support around the world.
