What is Peer Support Group?

Peer Support Group (PSG) is a space for neighbors to support each other in processing & grieving the times we are living through, sharing & honoring what's on our hearts & minds, and identifying ways we can continue moving forward constructively in the mutual aid spirit.

PSG aims to restore the rightful place of community care. In a culture dominated by the shallow preeminence of self care -- which neglects our responsibilities to each other and frames individual wellbeing as a solitary responsibility & pursuit -- this group insists that that we cannot successfully self care our way out of or through polycrisis, and that healing & care must come from the collective for the collective.
