Peer Support - Depression

Service Description

This weekly peer meet is for individuals experiencing depression or depressive symptoms to come together in a safe, compassionate community — to talk, listen, reflect, and remind each other that they’re not alone. We believe in the power of shared lived experience. Whether you're navigating low motivation, guilt, fatigue, or just need a space to be, this group offers understanding, care, and connection without judgment. Come as you are — we’ll meet you there. Held in-person every Wednesday from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM, these peer support sessions are facilitated by individuals with lived experience of depression. They guide the group through simple, thoughtful conversations around topics often connected to depression — like sleep, isolation, and emotional overwhelm — helping participants feel seen, heard, and supported. Sessions are designed to encourage emotional expression, community-building, and mutual support in a gentle, low-pressure setting. Everyone is invited to participate in the way that feels best to them — whether that means speaking, listening, typing, or sharing creatively. Each session begins with group norms to ensure psychological safety, and ends with a grounding activity such as a short reflection or breathing practice. This is not a therapy group — it’s a peer-led space for connection and care. Referrals for professional mental health support can be provided if needed. Who is this group for? Adults (18+) who are currently experiencing depression or depressive symptoms. This group is not open to the general public as it is specifically for individuals living with depression. Sessions begin and end on time. Please join 5 minutes early; entry closes 10 minutes after the start time.
