This Global Peer Support Day, we're recognising the vital role peer support plays across Penumbra Mental Health.

Peer support is rooted in lived experience and creates meaningful relationships built on empathy, understanding and hope.

Across Penumbra:
• 24% of practitioners work in peer roles
• 53% of services offer peer support
• 5,824 people received support from services with full peer teams in 2024-2025

By sharing their lived experience, Peer Practitioners help people feel understood, strengthen social connection, build resilience and support recovery.

Thank you to all of our Peer Practitioners whose expertise, insight and compassion make a lasting difference every day.

Mental health is everyone’s business – join the pledge ✏️

We’re proud to be joining many rural organisations to help create communities where everyone can talk openly about mental health and where people are supported to seek help early.

Through this UK-first collaboration, the new, pioneering Scottish Fi****ms Mental Health Awareness and Support Partnership brings organisations together with a shared aim: to raise awareness, encourage early support and help prevent su***de. Because real change happens when we stand together.

If you’re visiting the Royal Highland Show from 18–21 June, you can sign the pledge at RSABI’s stand (opposite the Members Pavilion) to show your support. It’s also a chance to meet and chat with some of the many partners involved. This will be the first of many rural shows where the pledge will be available, helping to grow this collective effort across Scotland’s rural communities.

➡️ Coming to Angus 26 March!

We're collaborating with Penumbra Mental Health to facilitate a one day Creating Hope with Peer Support workshop for people involved in peer support in Angus.

We’ll start with an exploration of peer support and why it has a vital role to play in su***de prevention.

Then we'll look at the Creating Hope with Peer Support Pathway. This Pathway outlines four key stages of the peer support relationship and journey: Connect, Explore, Hope and Support.

Group numbers for this workshop are deliberately low to provide a small group session where participants in similar roles can discuss challenges, shape solutions and exchange skills and ideas.
