Peer Support
The Peer Support Council was created to work in partnership with the consumers and administration of the Mental Health & Addictions Program to assist with developing processes and mechanisms that include consumers in all aspects of hospital function that directly relate to patient care. By integrating consumer opinion we can more effectively achieve our goal of client-centered care while upholding the core values of the Mental Health & Addictions Program with compassion, dignity and respect.For more information or to get involved with the Peer Support Council contact:
