Community Gatherings
To meet the risen mental health support needed in response to the pandemic, Peer Support Space continues to host Daily Digital Communal Gatherings at 12PM and 6PM, Monday-Saturday for the general community atop our existing identity and wellness tool focused Community Gatherings.
A space to build a support system, and a sense of chosen family, with your community.
Our community gatherings are peer-led support groups that are non-clinical and led by a collective of individuals with lived experience in the group's topic or community. Each community gathering is unique to the population it serves and is created in a peer-led collaborative group process. There is no pressure to share to attend. We welcome anyone, anywhere that is 18+.

The following are free, non-clinical, peer-led support groups hosted by Peer Support Space taking place in Eastern Time (EST). New friends are always welcome.
Registration is required for in-person events so that we can keep our gatherings under 10 people as a COVID precaution.
For our virtual groups, please use the zoom links below (on computer or zoom phone app) to enter. Alternatively, you may call in by dialing 1 929 205 6099 from your phone and then entering the group's meeting ID.
Please contact us for more information or for accessibility needs.
