Your Community Needs You!

Hey divergents,

We are inviting you to sign up to the UK’s first politicised peer support certification program, what we call Peer Solidarity. The program offers an in-depth exploration of Peer Solidarity, a framework that combines community healing with political education.

This unique program is designed to empower participants with a theoretical and practical understanding of autonomous, abolitionist, and accessible mental health care. By the end of the program you will have the knowledge and tools to more adequately support yourself, your peers and your community!

The program is also entirely FREE for those aged 18-25!

We are accepting applications for the 2026 cohort NOW, click below to begin your application or read on for further info. The application deadline for the 2026 cohort is 11.59pm, Sunday 4th January 2026.

Why is this program needed?

• The mainstream mental health system is failing neurodivergent+ people in a devastating way. We are negatively labelled and pathologised, trapped in psychiatric wards, stuck on waiting lists for seemingly endless periods of time or forced onto medication without providing anything resembling informed consent

• We are also made to feel like we are the problem, while the impacts of social oppression are routinely minimised, if not completely ignored. The mainstream mental health system also fails care providers, while those in caregiver roles are often under-valued and exploited

• Traditional education is biased and does not draw on the unique voices and valuable insights of neurodivergent+ people

Who is the program for?

It is for people who are:

• Critical of mainstream mental healthcare and want to explore non-clinical alternatives

• Interested in offering peer support but are either unsure of where to begin or want to develop their knowledge further

• Experienced with helping certain neurodivergent+ communities (e.g.- ADHD, Autism) but less knowledgeable about the more pathologised groups

• Wanting to deepen their experience with caregiving and healing work - in particular relating to neurodivergences

• Students of psychology, sociology or similar educational pursuits interested in supplementing or challenging their learning using a radical lens and perspective

Pricing

• The program is entirely FREE for those aged 18-25!

• For everyone above 25 years old, we offer a flexible sliding-scale pricing structure for our program (see website for more details)

• The program fee for the February 2026 cohort covers sixteen (16) weeks of training, while complimentary support and supervision is offered throughout the practical placement
