Self Help Resource Centre - seminar for self help individuals/groups (Toronto area)

TO ALL PEER SUPPORT GROUPS IN THE GTA

During Self-Help Awareness Week, Sept. 20th to 25th, 2010, the Self-Help Resource Centre will be hosting a two-day information fair at the Yonge-Eglinton Centre to raise the profile of peer support in the City of Toronto. This is an opportunity for an agency which hosts a peer support group or a community peer support group to get the word out about their issue and provide information to the general public about how to become involved.

The fair will be held over a two day period - Fri. Sept. 24th and Sat. Sept 25th - and agencies hosting peer support groups and community peer support groups are invited to sign up for either of the two days. We do ask that representatives from the groups commit to staffing their table from 10 am to 4 pm, with coverage during the lunch hour.

Groups would be encouraged to display and give away any materials about their issue or group. Peer support groups listed on the Self-Help Resource Centre's website would be offered a printout from our database listing all their basic information for display at their table.

If interested in having your group represented at the info fair, please get in touch as soon as possible to confirm your participation. Space is limited. For more information or to register for a table, please contact Rick Henry at shrc@selfhelp.on.ca or call (416) 487-4355 ext. 21, and he will return your call as soon as he is able.
