Intentional Peer Support
Mana o te Tangata Trust offers peer support for all ages, ethnicities and cultures.
Intentional peer support (IPS) is a way of thinking about purposeful relationships. It is a process were both people (or a group of people) use the relationship to look at things from new angles, develop greater awareness, and support and challenge each other as we try new things.
Peer Support relationships are viewed as partnerships that enable both parties to learn and grow, rather than one person needing to ‘help’ another and
instead of a focus on what we need to avoid or stop doing, we are encouraged to move towards where and what we want to be.
At the end of the day, it’s about building stronger, healthy, communities
