Peer-to-Peer Support:
How does it help?

Overall, peer-to-peer studies have found that social support:

• decreases morbidity and mortality rates
• increases life expectancy
• increases knowledge of a disease, illness, or injury
• improves self-efficacy
• improves self-reported health status and self-care skills, including medication adherence
• reduces use of emergency services

What do you get?

• New friends
• Listening heart
• Opportunity to learn from others
• Opportunity to share your knowledge
• No judgement
• Better quality of life

Chance to talk with others in similar situations
