Peer2Peer Indigenous Society

Who we are

Rooted in lived experience

Peer2Peer is a Métis-led Indigenous society offering culturally grounded, trauma-informed, peer-led outreach and support for people facing homelessness, substance use, mental health challenges and poverty.

More than basic outreach

We build trust through relationships, advocacy and practical support. We help folks navigate housing, identification, detox, treatment, recovery, stabilization and community resources.

Cultural connection

We make room for Indigenous cultural practices, community connection, Elders and healing without judgment.

Our programs

Mobile outreach

Food, drinks, clothing, hygiene supplies, harm reduction, check-ins and referrals across Greater Victoria.

Overdose aftercare

Peer support, advocacy and connections to detox, treatment, healing lodges and other recovery pathways.

HIV and hepatitis C outreach

Education, testing connections, peer support and help navigating care.

Relocation support

Helping Indigenous people reconnect with family, home communities and supports across Canada.

Mobile wound care

Nursing-led wound care and practical health support during outreach.

Healing & what is next

Indigenous Women's Healing Circle

A peer-led space for connection, cultural care, healing and support for unhoused Indigenous women.

Sacred Steps — in development

A planned Indigenous women's second-stage recovery and wellness home, grounded in culture, stability and long-term healing.

Night outreach — launching November

A pilot offering evening essentials and overnight walking outreach, observation and connections to emergency support.

Support that continues

Our work includes follow-up, advocacy and connections beyond a single outreach visit.

Get involved

Volunteer
