care survivors

Last year we worked with Future Pathways, Voices for a Better Future and the Scottish Recovery Network to look at how we might co-design peer support for care survivors supported by Future Pathways.  If you aren't familiar with the term care survivors, it refers to people abused or neglected as children in the Scottish care system.

Peer support was something that care survivors had already identified that they wanted, to enhance what they were already receiving through individual support coordination, to help improve their own lives (and, of course, others).
