Description (French)
Cette initiative intégra des travailleurs de soutien par les pairs dans six programmes de santé mentale et de toxicomanie de l'autorité sanitaire de Fraser (Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Mission, Surrey, Maple Ridge et New Westminster) afin de cibler le soutien à quatre populations clés : les hommes de métier, les Sud-Asiatiques, les Autochtones et les personnes 2ELGBTQ+. Des travailleurs qui fournissent des services de soutien proposeront des services de groupe de soutien en personne dans toute la région et des contacts individuels avec les clients pour les aider à faire la transition vers les services existants.
