This conference will amplify peer support as a recognized national best practice across workplaces, communities, and health care systems. By bringing together frontline peer support experts, leaders, and researchers, we will accelerate the adoption of evidence-based, peer support solutions that profoundly transform mental health care delivery in Canada.
Mental health challenges are rising, and many existing systems are stretched thin. Peer support isn’t a replacement for professional care, it’s a proven way to strengthen the human connection that improves the effectiveness of care.
This conference is about understanding where peer support fits, how it works, and how it can be done well at a national level.
