Urgent PSN News

The following blurb was posted (hopefully) to multiple listservs in light of the structural changes we at the PSN saw necessary:

For various reasons unrelated to the demand of union members, the Peer Support Network will be closing its phone lines after this Saturday, February 7th, until further notice. Again, the phone lines will be operational for the rest of the week, and unavailable after Saturday at 7pm. The email service will still be provided to all members at no charge, 7 days a week, 24 hours per day, with a 12-hour response promise.

The PSN co-facilitators will be holding an info-session open to all CUPE 3903 members this Sunday, February 8th, from 2pm-4pm at the Green Beanery cafe. We encourage all members, volunteers or not, to come at their leisure to meet with the co-facilitators to ask questions or discuss ideas for the future of the PSN. The Green Beanery is an accessible space located on the southeast corner of the Bloor and Bathurst intersection, less than a block from the Bathurst subway station (http://www.greenbeanery.ca/bean/catalog/info_pages.php?pages_id=66). The Green Beanery is NOT a private or confidential space, so all discussion must be limited to administrative topics.

If you have any questions or concerns, you can email the co-facilitators, Tobin Haley and Julia D'Agostino, at peerorg3903@gmail.com, or check for updates on the Peer Support Network webpage: http://peersupportnetwork.blogspot.com.

We look forward to seeing you all on Sunday!

Just a quick additional note: we do not see this as the end of the Peer Support Network. We will continue to provide support through email services, and through up-and-coming monthly meetings for all members. Please do not hesitate to contact our admin email address for further inquiries.
