What is Wellways Discovery Peer Learning?

Wellways Discovery is a transformative peer-to-peer learning program for anyone seeking the best life possible for themselves and their families.

The five-session program provides an opportunity for people who experience mental health challenges, or carers, families and friends, to share and learn from each other about mental health and recovery.

The programs are held in a group setting or one-to-one and led by people who have lived experience. Facilitators provide a supportive environment that promotes learning and positive action.

How does Wellways Discovery help?

Wellways Discovery invites you to explore ways to improve your wellbeing in a supportive peer environment.

The program supports you to:

Develop relationships based on a shared experience
Strengthen your sense of identity
Explore and plan recovery and wellbeing, personally and as a ‘family’
Understand how stress and trauma operates and plan for support
Recognise and value your past experiences, resilience and wisdom

Why choose Wellways

Wellways Discovery programs are led by people who have a lived experience of mental health issues and recovery. This lived experience of both the peer leader and participants is central to group and individual learning.

The programs are based on the most up-to-date research on mental health, recovery and support options. You will learn skills and strategies designed to improve social and emotional wellbeing.
