You’re Not Alone: Join Our Peer Support On Wednesdays Starting April

At Families Fighting for Justice, we understand that the journey of grief and healing is deeply personal, yet no one should have to walk it alone. That is why, starting in April 2025, every Wednesday will be dedicated to Peer Support—offering a safe and understanding space for those who have lost loved ones due to violent crime.

Whether through group sessions or one-to-one support, our Peer Support Wednesdays will ensure that individuals and families can connect with others who truly understand their experiences. The value of shared understanding cannot be underestimated, and having someone who has walked a similar path can provide comfort, reassurance, and hope.

The Power of Peer Support

Peer support offers a unique form of healing that professional counselling alone may not provide. By speaking to others who have faced similar losses, individuals can:

• Share their thoughts and feelings in a safe, judgement-free environment.
• Gain reassurance that they are not alone in their grief.
• Learn coping strategies from those who have experienced similar challenges.
• Offer and receive emotional support, creating a sense of community and belonging.

Group or One-to-One Support: What’s Right for You?

Peer support can take different forms depending on individual needs. Some may find comfort in group sessions, where they can listen, share, and connect with multiple people who have faced similar losses. Others may prefer one-to-one peer support, allowing for more personal, focused conversations in a private setting.

No matter which format feels right, our dedicated Peer Support Wednesdays will ensure that everyone has access to compassionate and understanding support.

Why Peer Support Matters

Grief can feel isolating, but with peer support, no one has to feel alone. Being part of a supportive network can help individuals regain a sense of hope, knowing that others have walked this journey and found strength along the way.

If you or someone you know could benefit from Peer Support, we encourage you to reach out and join us when our sessions begin in April 2025. Together, we can find strength in shared experiences and support each other through the challenges we face.
