The course felt bigger than just an online course. It changed how I view moving forward, which was something that I didn't have a huge degree of confidence about. This year, I will be helping co-facilitate a peer course at the mental health charity in Glasgow, and I'm super excited about it. - Robyn
Imagine taking a leap into the unknown with an online course designed to foster peer support in mental health recovery.

This free-to-access course aims to create opportunities for peer support, whether face-to-face or online.
Robyn kicks things off by sharing her excitement about co-facilitating a Peer2Peer course at a mental health charity in Glasgow. Her enthusiasm sets the stage for a conversation that dives deep into the challenges and triumphs of transitioning peer support to an online format. The group candidly discusses the importance of setting boundaries and the courage it takes to be vulnerable in a virtual environment. One key highlight is the role of pre-read materials in supporting learning and providing validation.
These resources were instrumental in helping participants feel seen and understood.

The episode wraps up with Robyn reflecting on how the course empowered her to champion peer support and reclaim its definition.
