Overview
The Royal is proud to take a leadership role in raising the profile of peer support as a valuable contribution to addressing care needs through the introduction of individual and family peer support to its integrated forensic mental health program. This information session will highlight the value of peer support for families.
Family members often find themselves trying to understand and cope with the mental health challenges of their loved one and provide support, while dealing with their own life concerns. Connecting with a peer support specialist, someone who has walked a similar path, and being accompanied in your experience can be highly beneficial.

She also serves as president of ON-BPD, an organization dedicated to help families better connect with their loved ones. Michèle also serves as family co-chair of AccessMHA’s client and family advisory team. She will be joined by Christine, a peer support specialist in the forensic mental health program.
