It’s a lot to handle and, as research has shown, increasingly, we are trying to tackle all this alone. Understandably, this can lead to high stress, anxiety and burnout. It doesn’t need to be that way.

None of these challenges are unique, they don’t need to be faced alone. Yet, finding a group with whom to share these challenges is hard.

Peer support groups connect people with similar experiences and contexts. The focus is on enabling conversations between peers, allowing them to be vulnerable and honest as they can trust that the people around the table understand the unique challenges they face and offer actionable solutions and insights.
