What is peer support?
Simply put, peer support is a way of providing emotional and wellbeing assistance where both the facilitator and participant are equals. Peer support allows people to connect through lived experiences, creating a safe space where you are able to talk openly and honestly, knowing the person you are speaking to really understands.
​
Peer support is supported by research as an effective pre-clinical mental health intervention.​ Benefits of peer support include improved social connectedness, increased resilience, improved workplace culture, and a reduction of burnout and compassion fatigue.
How does it work?
You sign up, and we match you with a peer support volunteer from a similar field and level of training. Once linked in, you can catch up whenever suits you both, as often as you need, online or in person.
​
Our fantastic volunteers are experienced healthcare professionals with dedicated mental health training. Both one-on-one and group peer support are available.
We are a registered charity
