The Power of Peer Support

“In that moment [of experiencing harassment], I would have really benefited, I think, from a peer support network … what I would have wanted … is just access to other women who had gone through this experience.” (Midcareer South Asian-American woman freelance journalist)

“The magic of any kind of group work or therapy is just being seen. Just having the opportunity to be heard and to be seen and to be listened to is actually really profound for people.” (Michael Mitchell, Peer Support Coordinator, Whitman-Walker)
