About Peer Support Group
Black peer support refers to a type of mental health support where Black individuals who have experienced similar challenges, such as mental health issues, discrimination, or trauma, connect and provide emotional and practical support to one another.
Peer support groups are provided through OBMHC member organizations across the city. Peer support can be provided in groups or one-on-one. These groups are often facilitated by Black peer support specialists or trainers, who may also be individuals with lived experiences.
