Nicole TaylorLocal Journalism Initiative ReporterThe World-SpectatorAt the Moosomin Chamber of Commerce meeting on Tuesday, Mark Jago, Executive Director of Sask Peer Support Networks, gave a presentation on the role of peer support networks in supporting people through mental health and addictions once they are out of treatment.
Jago is setting up peer support networks across the province.
Jago says Saskatchewan Peer Support Networks is a non-profit community-based organization that got its start in Melfort.
You could feel our towns becoming more and more stress-filled, so we started a small peer support group,” he said.
Jago said anyone wanting to start a peer support group can contact him at 306-921-8681 or saskpeergroups@gmail.com.
