No, peer support is not therapy. It’s a powerful way to connect with people who really understand what you’re going through — because they’ve been there too.
In a peer support group, you’ll hear from others with similar life experiences, share your own story if you’d like, and offer encouragement along the way. It’s a space to be real, not clinical.
Unlike therapy, groups aren’t led by licensed therapists. They’re guided by hosts who help keep the space safe, supportive, and respectful. And no pressure — if you’re not ready to talk in your first session, it’s totally fine to just listen in.
Example: Let’s say you’ve recently gone through a tough breakup. In a peer group, you might hear someone talk about what helped them heal. That one insight could shift something for you — and maybe your story will do the same for someone else.
