I am Lisa - I am one of the Peer Assisted Learning Coordinators at QMU and am the Chair of the SPSN. I have worked in Peer support for 5 years, and think that these networks are a great space for sharing practice and learning to help improve our PALS provision!

I'm Jo and I am a Wellbeing coordinator at the University of Aberdeen. I have been coordinating the university's peer support programme (Buddy Scheme) for the last four years, something I've found very rewarding. This network is great for sharing of good practice (and also what hasn't worked so well) and I've learned a lot from it in the past. Looking forward to meeting you all :)

I'm Kay and a widening participation and outreach co-ordinator. I feel peer networks are really helpful (both my son and daughter have used them). I don't know much about peer mentoring and am keen to learn.
