🤝 Counterpart Strengthens Peer Support Program in VIC
Peer support continues to play a vital role in helping people affected by cancer feel informed, connected and supported throughout their experience. Last month, Counterpart welcomed 15 new trainee Peer Support Volunteers who will soon join their experienced volunteer team supporting women living with cancer across Victoria. Once training is complete, these volunteers will help expand Counterpart's peer support network, providing more opportunities for women to connect with someone who understands the challenges of a cancer diagnosis and treatment. 💗 Counterpart's Peer Support Volunteers provide a listening ear, help people access trusted information, and connect them with practical, medical and support services. Support is available by phone, at selected Melbourne hospitals, through Peer Support Hubs in Melbourne and Geelong, and at a range of workshops, events and wellbeing activities. 🧘♀️Counterpart continues to offer a variety of free programs and events, including online Yoga4Cancer sessions, educational webinars, Peer Support Hub gatherings and regional wellbeing days, helping people affected by cancer connect with others and access supportive resources in their local communities. 👉Find out more about Counterpart's Peer Support Program Here
