How Can An Organizational Partner Help?

Partnering with an experienced organization can make starting and running your peer support group much easier. This help is important because it allows you to focus on supporting your group members while receiving help from the ability and resources of established organizations.

Depending on the organization, partners can:

Help you complete the steps listed in this toolkit.
Help you in finding new group members and other resources needed to manage your group and run meetings.
Develop and conduct community surveys.
Promote your group in the community.
Provide consultation and support with group management and administration, such as training, using templates and forms, handling taxes, financial statements, liability insurance, charitable status, fundraising, networking, and partnership development.
