My name is Bushie Calvert, I trained as a peer supporter in 2011. I currently run the Antenatal Breastfeeding programme in Dunedin. I am looking forward to training future peer supporters and expanding the support networks for breastfeeding families within Dunedin and North Otago.
Peer Supporters are not medical professionals, but are volunteers trained to provide information and support through common challenges to the normal course of breastfeeding.
