Your Peer, Your Support, Your Resource
Peer support is provided by peers, for peers. It’s a system consisting of individuals with similar experiences who encourage and assist each other on their path towards healing.
Founded on key principles such as respect and shared responsibility, peer support is based on the belief that people who have faced and overcome adversity can provide useful support and mentorship to others facing similar situations.
We have heard the call for help from across Canada. We are here to answer the call.
We are a peer-led organization established in 2018, after a tremendous response from other areas in Canada regarding the first Funeral Peer Support established in Ottawa.
We have received tremendous support from the media, including CTV, CBC, Maclean’s Magazine. People are talking about us. We want you to be a part of that talk.
We would like to change the way we look at mental health in our industry. We want it to be a positive experience for any individual requesting our help so we can keep good people in the industry.
Consider helping us make this happen.
Be part of that change!
