The Norwegian Asthma and Allergy Association (NAAF) launched an application to provide the opportunity to meet peers or relatives of those living with asthma, allergies or other hypersensitivities. These peers are people who have experienced what it means to be ill, and who can therefore be present for others in the same situation.
Peer support is not a profession but rather provides support to process the experiences of living with a common illness. However, NAAF’s peer volunteers are trained through the Joint Organisation of the Disabled.
