Intentional Peer Support

Intentional Peer Support (IPS) is a powerful framework for thinking about and creating transformative relationships.

Practitioners learn to use relationships to see their lives and identities from new angles, develop greater awareness of personal and relational patterns, and support and challenge each other in trying new things.​

IPS is used across the world in settings ranging from peer-run programs to traditional human services. We come from a history of grassroots alternatives that focus on building relationships that are mutual, explorative, and conscious of power, discrimination and oppression.
