  • Peer support groups are safe spaces that provide an emotionally and socially supportive environment to individuals, along with practical assistance. The three authors run a peer support group in New Delhi, India, for young adults who face mental health challenges. This study explores the processes of group formation, the nature of participant engagement and the evolving dynamics within the group setting. Drawing on firsthand reflections, the article highlights how peer support groups foster emotional safety, narrative autonomy and identity reconstruction through shared lived experiences. It also outlines the practical challenges of facilitation, including managing boundaries, maintaining group cohesion and adapting to diverse participant needs. The article concludes with mentioning arenas of further growth.
