Provincial Groups

Being diagnosed with a mood disorder can be an overwhelming experience. We understand that. That’s why at Hope + Me our peer recovery programs are informed by peer supporters’ lived experience. We believe that recovery through lived experience is vital in helping you.

Our mandate is to provide Peer Support to people affected by mood disorders in Ontario. Hope + Me takes pride in having a province-wide network of affiliates who bring Peer Support groups to a location near you.

Using evidence-based peer support strategies, we create safe, judgement-free spaces for individuals and their families to visit and engage with us in meaningful ways. Each group is run by two trained facilitators.

The Following Principles Guide Each Of Our Programs.

Confidentiality

What’s said privately in our groups is encouraged to stay within our groups.

Sharing

We encourage our participants to share their experiences freely. We don’t criticize or lecture on how to deal with a mood disorder or mental illness.

Respect

We seek to build a safe space for all participants – where gender, sexual orientation, race, and religion are respected and considered in how we facilitate our sessions.

Lived Experience

We all have unique lived experiences. That is why, we approach your healing process by finding similar lived experiences between us and learning how they can help you.

Training

We train our facilitators professionally to conduct our programs – so that they create respectable and safe spaces for all our participants.
