A bit about us
The Peer Action Support Team aims to provide, in an one-on-one context, front-line support and facilitate access to resources.
A team of youth assists and supports other youth with the reporting of hate crimies, domestic assault and sexual assault to the police; assists with the access of follow-up support services; provides resources and service information; and assist with social services issues.
The Peer Action Support Team runs out of the South and North Fraser regions. Our Advisory Committee, which is made up of a wide variety of service providers in our areas, assists the team with referrals, resources, training and general support.
