In peer support groups, people who have been in similar life situations share their ideas, experiences and thus help each other in a safe environment.

If needed, an expert is also invited to provide professional advice.

The program may be conducted in English or Finnish.

These groups can be formed based on the needs, interests or problems of those who choose to attend and may be about job-seeking, mental wellbeing, parenting, integration into Finnish society, antiracism, etc.

There is no restriction in terms of cultural background, age level, gender, religious beliefs, and the like. Church membership is not a requirement for attending the program.
