Global Peer Support Celebration Day (GPSCD) is an annual celebration of peer supporters, and peer support professionals. GPSCD recognizes the work in a variety of areas like Mental Health and Substance Use, Chronic and terminal illnesses, and disabilities.

• At 12 noon on October 20th, Peer Support communities worldwide will pause, reflect, and celebrate. 
• For Peer Support Specialists in New York State, please take this time with us. Celebrate yourselves and the families and youth you work with. 
• Focus also on 3 core reasons why you do this work. 
• Consider the impact of your work, the inequities and struggles that you have overcome, and the amazing way you are changing the world one family and one youth at a time.

Peer Support is a hero's journey about those who experienced pitfalls and difficulties on their path and then chose to guide others down that path. Peers give grace, mentorship, support, and empowerment.

Resilience, Service, Empathy, & Spirit!
