Notice: The Peer Coaching program is no longer in operation

As of March 31, 2012, the Patient Voices Network’s Peer Coaching program is no longer in operation. Although many successful matches were made, the overall number of participants remained low and funding has been discontinued as a result.

The Patient Voices Network is currently exploring new avenues to continue our self-management work and engage the talents and skills of our peer coaches. A peer-led Talking with Your Doctor and Other Health Care Professionals workshop is an example of programs currently in development.

If you are not already Network member, we encourage you to join today. As a member, you will be the first to hear about any new developments and programs. You will also have access to a range of skill-building sessions and have opportunities to participate in surveys on health care related issues.

On behalf of everyone at the Patient Voices Network, thank you to the health care partners and providers who supported this program by making referrals, and the coaches and participants who enrolled in this program – we look forward to working with you on new initiatives in the months ahead!
