Peer Connect Online
Covid-19 has provided an impetus to bring people together online.
Online groups are inclusive, particularly for people living regionally and may continue after Covid-19, depending on demand.
MDNSW staff will follow best practice standards when setting up and running groups using software like Zoom.
We’ve included some simple standards of behaviour that is expected of participants in group activities, without stifling self-expression.
