It all begins with an idea. Then, a survey of needs.

Leadership is the key to unlock Peer Program success. An innovative and organic approach to educating Peer Support is to consider beginning with Peer Support service for Staff mental health wellness. Experiencing Peer Support first hand at the Staff level increases success two fold. One, Staff are more able to serve Clients effectively. Two, Staff Peer Support service provides a natural progression for the organization to embrace Client Peer Support service. Interested in piloting a Peer-to-Peer Staff mental health wellness program?

A Peer Support culture is one that we can adopt in Human Resources - that it’s ok to talk about what is going on at home and in personal relationships especially when it is coming from a Human Resources or Cultural level in an organization. With emotion processed and addressed, we as employees can get on with business - the business of supporting clients and the team. Being able to process our emotions as employees at the end of a bad day means we can show up the next day and connect.
