A guide to the process
What the process may involve
- 1Check who the group is for and whether it is moderated.
- 2Ask about confidentiality, online safety, accessibility and meeting language.
- 3Attend only if comfortable; clarify that personal stories do not replace professional advice.
Time and commitment
Peer groups may meet once or regularly, with no standard duration or commitment. Ask whether attendance is flexible and whether you can observe or try a meeting before joining.
Hong Kong service pathways
SWD lists peer support in disability District Support Centres and Integrated Community Centres for Mental Wellness; its agency-based mental-health peer service is a separate model. Ask which service the group belongs to, who moderates it, and whether you can approach it directly.
How it differs from related support
Peer support offers shared experience, not an authoritative eligibility or clinical decision. It can complement, but does not replace, professional advice where that is needed.
Points to consider
- Ask who facilitates the group and what confidentiality expectations apply.
- Check accessibility, language, meeting format and whether attendance is flexible.
Questions to ask a provider
- Is the group for caregivers, young people or adults with lived experience?
- What are the group's privacy and moderation rules?
- Can I attend once before deciding whether to continue?
