Peer Support
The Peer Support Program is an initiative of the ECMA Sound Minds Wellness Program.
Peer Support is where people with shared lived experiences come together to promote wellness, recovery, and healing. The program has successfully trained several musicians, songwriters, and music industry professionals to become peer supporters since 2021. The program has also featured Peer Support groups for ADHD, Sobriety, Women in Music and more, hosting both in person at ECMA and NSMW, and online throughout the year.
For more information about the Peer Support work or to join one of the currently running groups below, please email [email protected].
To maintain the confidentiality and safety of each group, participants will be sent a Zoom link the day of the group.
