Peer Connect Events
Our virtual group peer support program invites people affected by IBD to connect with and provide support to others living with or caring for someone with Crohn’s and colitis. Group sessions give an opportunity for individuals to share and get support on how to deal with aspects of everyday living with IBD including the impact of IBD mental health and wellness.
How does the program work?
Bi-weekly online sessions provide a safe and confidential space that bring members of the community together to share their experiences and connect with others affected by Crohn’s or colitis. Group meetings are facilitated by staff and trained peer mentors that live with IBD or are caregivers of someone with IBD.
The group sessions typically take place during the week in the evening, using our Zoom secure platform. Video during the session is optional and information on how to turn off your video, as well as other ways to keep your information private will be provided before the session.
