🌍 This Global Peer Support Celebration Day, we’re celebrating the many places peer support belongs—wherever people seek understanding, hope, and connection.

Lived and living experience is expertise, and today we celebrate the peer support workers who put that expertise into practice every day.

At Healthy Minds Cooperative, we value the knowledge and understanding earned through lived experience that our staff, volunteers, and community bring to the table. Together, we can build communities and systems where peer support workers are valued, respected, and supported.

Because peer support belongs wherever people seek understanding, hope, and connection.

Starting soon, don't miss out! 📢✨

Join us bi-weekly on Wednesdays, for a peer support group by and for adults who identify as neurodivergent/neurodiverse, or who feel their ways of thinking, feeling, or experiencing the world are often misunderstood or not fully accommodated.

This is a relaxed, welcoming space to connect, share, and have open conversations about lived experiences. You’re welcome to talk, listen, or just be. This group is facilitated by members of the community who identify as neurodivergent and want to use their lived experience navigating the world to support others who may be facing similar challenges.

Talking with others who 'get' your particular struggles can be empowering as it helps decrease anxiety around being judged and increases connection. Peer connection is powerful.

No diagnosis needed. Not a therapy group, just community supporting community 🌿
Where: Healthy Minds Cooperative, 45 Alderney Dr. Suite 210, Dartmouth
When: Every second Wednesday starting Oct 14th, 6-8pm

👉Please note:
The term “neurodivergent” is used here with care and intention. While it can sometimes carry clinical or pathologizing connotations, in this context it is being used by and for the community it represents. It is not meant to define people by deficits or reinforce divisions between “neurotypical” and “non-neurotypical.” Rather, it serves as a shared language to acknowledge that different ways of thinking and being can shape how individuals experience and move through the world. While rigid standards of “normal” ignore the reality of neurodiversity, they continue to shape access, opportunity, and people’s ability to thrive. Imposed standards of "normal" that other people are the very reason why peer groups, like this, are needed.
