Men and women are the intended audience for this program. Peer Support Volunteers (PSV) are trained volunteers that provide ongoing support to client when formal counselling and case management goals have been addressed. PSV’s often have lived experience in common with their matched client and provide social and emotional support. This non-therapeutic extension of counselling reflects PCHS Calgary’s continuing care model and is a person-centered practice to help empower individuals and families.
Services are available in Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu and English. Free of cost.
