A Peer Support Host is someone who facilitates ShareWell groups by helping guide conversations, encouraging participation, and creating a safe, supportive space for everyone involved. Hosts are peers—not professionals or therapists—and they support others through shared lived experience, empathy, and understanding.
Who can host a peer support group?
Any individual with lived experience on a particular topic and a passion for supporting others can become a host on ShareWell. Formal credentials or professional qualifications are not required. What matters most is empathy, understanding, and a willingness to create a safe and supportive environment for peers.
How do I become a host?
If you feel called to support others, you can get started by exploring ShareWell’s host resources and training. There are free materials available to help you learn how hosting works and prepare for leading groups.
We welcome anyone with a genuine desire to give back and support others on their healing journey. Becoming a host is about helping create an inclusive space where people can connect, grow, and feel less alone through shared experience.
