Peer2Peer Project

Experiential Workers, i.e. peer workers with lived/living experience, are important service providers that play a crucial role in supporting individuals that use substances in overdose response situations. These situations are stressful, and can have lasting social, mental and emotional impacts for Experiential Workers. Unlike other healthcare providers and first responders, Experiential Workers often lack access to institutional or occupational mental health support.

The Peer2Peer (P2P) project aims to identify, implement and evaluate peer-led support interventions that would be valuable and effective for Experiential Workers.
