Peer Support

Meaning

Peer Support is a non-clinical, psychosocial intervention where individuals who share similar life experiences, such as managing a chronic hormonal condition or navigating a specific treatment path, provide emotional, informational, and practical assistance to one another. This mutual aid approach fosters a sense of community and validation, helping participants cope with the emotional and psychological burdens of their health challenges. Peer support complements professional clinical care by offering a unique perspective rooted in lived experience, enhancing resilience and self-management skills. In the hormonal health space, this is particularly valuable for conditions with significant lifestyle and psychological impacts.
