About this Training: 

At its core, Cycle Against Suicide’s Mental Health Peer-Support is about people helping people. Our Peer-Support training is centred around a structured and supportive conversation in a confidential, safe and non-judgmental environment. It allows peer-support to be a bridge between the wellbeing of an individual and the wellbeing of the company.

• Create a compassionate network within the workplace, where trained employees are attuned to subtle shifts in their colleague’s wellbeing. This heightened awareness fosters a culture of genuine care and concern.
• Enhance communication and problem-solving skills, with participants learning active listening and problem-solving techniques, enabling them to offer empathetic understanding and help without judgement. This not only aids in early intervention but also cultivates an environment where individuals feel heard and valued.
• Reinforce resilience, where employees are armed with the tools to support their colleagues will navigate their own challenges with greater ease. The reciprocal nature of mental health peer-support training fosters a positive feed-back loop, reinforcing a culture where everyone in invested in each other’s success and wellbeing.
