About WAPSN

The WA Peer Supporters’ Network formed in 2014. The WAPSN is a non-profit group led by and for Peer Supporters.

We promote growth of Peer Support and the Peer Workforce, serving as a hub for learning, news, collaboration and support in Western Australia.

The WAPSN is hosted by Consumers of Mental Health WA, with funding support of the Mental Health Commission of Western Australia.

Our Vision

A world where Peer Support is valued, recognised and utilised as a key role in society and at the heart of humanity.
