Peer support connects you with someone who understands what you’re going through and can guide you through important changes. Who better to talk to about transitioning into adult healthcare than someone who has experienced it themselves?
The paediatric peer support team at SCIA are here to help you move into adult healthcare services with confidence. For more information about peer support and how the team can support you to live a vibrant and fulfilling life, visit their website or contact them on 1800 819 775.
"It was just easier to explain to [the peer support mentor]. You’ve got all these people that have helped you but they’re not in the same predicament as you. [The peer support mentor] has been in that situation. They know what’s going to occur, they know what needs to be done…you could ask them questions, and tips and tricks."
