Supporting Peer Work Report

Supporting Peer Work c/​o George Brown College

Year

2023

In 2023, we were invited by the Supporting Peer Work group to design a co-authored report. The report, Supporting Peer Work, outlines research collected on the working conditions of people in peer positions at social service agencies across the GTA. As described in the report:



”Peers are subject to discrimination, neglect, and double standards that block them from making positive change at their organizations and in their lives. Agencies build a maze for peers, then blame them for not being able to escape... To truly support peer workers, organizations must break down the barriers they have built.”
