Discover how peer support could revolutionize Canadian healthcare in this groundbreaking 5-part series from Matters of Engagement, in collaboration with the Canadian Cancer Society and the BETTER Women research team at Women's College Hospital.

Follow the BETTER Women research project, where trained volunteers become peer health coaches, supporting women through six-month journeys toward better health outcomes. From the scientists reimagining primary care to the prevention practitioners on the front lines, and the peer coaches whose lived experiences are transforming lives - this series explores how community connection and upstream prevention could be integral to addressing Canada's healthcare crisis.

Join hosts Jennifer Johannesen and Emily Nicholas Angl as they examine whether adding peer health coaching to traditional healthcare leads to better chronic disease prevention through sustained behaviour change. Could this paradigm shift be part of building a healthier future for all Canadians?
