With peer support training,
you can be there for
someone in need, offering
understanding and a
shoulder to lean on.
Peer support breaks down
barriers. By coming together,
we foster empathy,
compassion, and a sense of
belonging.
"Everyone should experience
this training, not only for the
purpose of supporting others,
but also for self-growth and
well-being."
Mood Disorders Society of Canada (MDSC) is proud to have the opportunity to offer Peer and Trauma Support Services workshops, sponsored by The Royal Canadian Legion – Ontario Command. These workshops are available at no fee for Veterans and their Family Members that reside in Ontario only. The program is facilitated by skilled and dedicated members of the MDSC Peer & Trauma Support Systems Team. A team of incredible people with years of lived experience, peer support and mental health professionals experienced in addressing trauma.
“Thank you to the facilitators and the participants for a rewarding learning experience.”
“Felt an amazing connection with this group. The facilitators were really knowledgeable, respectful and delivered the training in a fun way.”
“This course offered a safe and collaborative environment in which to learn. The workshop provides useful information that I can use to support my peers.”
“I know I’m not the only other Veteran who has benefited from these calls. When you feel alone it makes things much harder to deal with and these weekly check ins always seemed to arrive when I most needed them, allowing me to face another week.”
“Everyone should experience this training, not only for the purpose of supporting others but also for self-growth and well-being.”
“A very relevant course which will assist me to be of service to Veterans in my area.”
