Community Peer

At the Interior Women’s Centre Society, our Peer Support team is here to walk alongside women on their journeys, not to lead, but to stand with. Using a peer support and navigation model, our team offers compassionate listening, shared understanding, and lived experience to help women feel less alone. We support women in identifying their goals, navigating available resources, and making connections to community services such as housing, income supports, counselling, healthcare, and legal aid.

Peer Support is about building trust, creating safety, and honouring women’s strengths. Whether someone is facing violence, poverty, isolation, or simply looking for a supportive space, our peer support workers provide both practical guidance and emotional connection. At its core, this work is about empowerment—helping women access the tools, networks, and confidence they need to move forward on their own terms.
