Special thanks to Dr. Jenny Liu and the MacDonald Franklin OSI Research Centre for illuminating what’s possible through rigorous research.


There was great variety of workshops. I really liked that there were different streams. The breadth and expertise of the speakers was impressive!

Connecting with others across Canada working in the peer support space was incredibly valuable. It was also helpful to learn the landscape of peer practice that is happening in other places.

I really valued the lived experience storytelling. I left feeling reminded that I am part of a movement and re-energized for the work head!
