At Durham Alliance Outreach (DAO), we believe in the power of community and the importance of support. Our Peer-to-Peer Support Network is designed to empower and connect individuals within the 2SLGBTQI+ community through both one-on-one and group settings. Whether you're seeking guidance, looking to share your experiences, or hoping to build meaningful connections, our network offers a safe and inclusive space for everyone.

Why Join Our Peer-to-Peer Support Network?

Personal and Group Support Our network provides both one-on-one and group support options, allowing you to choose the setting that best fits your needs. Whether you prefer personal interactions or the dynamic of a supportive group, you’ll find a community ready to uplift and empower you.

Roles for Everyone We are always looking for Peer Supporters, Peer Recipients, or those interested in both roles. Peer Supporters play a vital role in offering guidance and sharing their experiences, while Peer Recipients benefit from the support and solidarity of the community. Those who choose to participate in both roles can provide and receive support, fostering a deeper sense of connection and understanding.

Fostering Resilience and Well-Being Our program aims to build resilience, promote well-being, and create a sense of belonging within the 2SLGBTQI+ community. By joining our network, you’ll be part of empowering conversations and find solidarity with others on similar journeys.

Get Involved Joining our Peer-to-Peer Support Network is easy. Simply fill out the sign-up form on our website to get started. Your involvement helps to strengthen our community and support those who need it most.
