Peer support conferences
Rooted in the values of peer support, our team consists of leaders with lived and living experience of mental health, substance use, and addiction. Across Northeastern Ontario, we work to uphold best practices in peer support while amplifying voices and advocating for individuals within the peer community.
National/Provincial Conferences
PeerWorks and Peer Support Canada host a collaborative in-person conference. The location may change each year, and the event is open to all. This conference provides opportunities to connect, learn, and share with peers from across the country.

LERN proudly hosts an annual in-person conference each spring in North Bay, exclusively for our members. The conference provides an opportunity for learning, networking, and sharing best practices within peer support communities. We begin accepting conference proposals for in-person presentations at the start of each year.
