Peer Advocacy

Peer advocacy involves individuals with similar experiences supporting and representing each other to navigate systems, access resources, or address issues. It’s about collective empowerment—peers sharing knowledge, offering encouragement, and advocating for fair treatment on behalf of one another. This approach leverages shared understanding to promote positive change, improve individual well-being, and strengthen community support networks. Peer advocates serve as relatable and trustworthy voices, helping others understand their rights and options while fostering a sense of empowerment and mutual aid.
