What I get out of belonging to Amigos Peer Support Group
11 July 2026"There are no other peer support groups in the Community like Amigos. Amigo's groups and events are an important part of my life and well-being. I have been attending groups and events for many years now and it is so important seeing familiar people and meeting new people in groups and feeling connected. You are always welcome and greeted and can be yourself especially if you are having an off day."

"Amigos has enabled me to grow as a person. I have gone from being a group member to a group leader and my self-confidence has skyrocketed. I feel I'm valued for being me."

"By being a part of Amigos I realise that despite my mental health challenges, I matter to someone, I matter to a group of people who I don't see everyday but I do see each week. Thank you Amigos."

"When you suffer from mental illness/distress you wonder whether that challenging life experience could help someone. At Amigos I've both shared my lived experience and others have shared theirs with me. And we have helped each other stay well."

"Amigos is my happy place."
