Peer Support Facilitators

Tough Enough To Care Group Facilitators

At the heart of our organisation lies a group of dedicated and compassionate individuals who serve as our support group facilitators.

Week after week, they bring their warmth, empathy, and understanding to create safe spaces where individuals can find support. Without these amazing individuals, our weekly peer support groups would simply cease to exist.
