Peer Support Pod

Interested in assisting in a Peer Support role?

This pods helps create the space for peer support, and makes sure we have volunteer peer support arranged for the duration of the event.  It takes many volunteers over the course of the weekend to hold this space.  No prior experience or training is required; the only thing needed is willingness to commit the time (the shifts are two hours or less) and openness to hold space, which we can help guide you with.

This isn't about counselling or solving people's problems (unless you choose to undertake that of your own volition).  In fact, it's very much not about that!  It's about just being there for people, and having a space available for our peers.  It is an incredible way to give to your friends at Intention, and one of the most rewarding things that we can do.

If you're looking for an easy to get involved at intention, especially if you're new to the community, this is a great way to jump in with both feet and be guaranteed a gentle landing! <smiles>

Please write us if you're interested, or have any questions.  And come check us out at Intention just to say hi, or if you need a hug or somewhere to be!
