The Beatrice Wilson Health Center will host a peer support group this week.

 

The group is currently looking for individuals who have experience living with drug use and want to help make the community a better place.

 

The group is run by those who have lived through this and want to help others with harm reduction.

 

This week's group will meet on Thursday afternoon at the center's location at the Otineka Mall.

 

Each week this month, sessions will be running to promote different wellness.

 

"Each week, we will highlight an educational segment of health.  So we're going to talk about diabetes.  We're going to have visitors from Primary Health.  We're going to have folks talking about harm reduction and we're going to have folks talking about the benefits of good bone health and preventing falls."
