About this Training: 
At its core, Cycle Against Suicide’s Mental Health Peer-Support is about people helping people. Our Workplace Peer-Support Programme equips employees with the skills and empathy to support colleagues facing stress and distress. Our programme transcends traditional boundaries, breaking down the stigma associated with mental health discussions in the workplace.

The benefits of Cycle Against Suicide’s Workplace Programme are profound and far-reaching and extend beyond the interpersonal dynamics of an organisation.

Firstly, it creates a compassionate network within the workplace. Trained employees are attuned to subtle shifts in their colleague’s wellbeing. This heightened awareness fosters a culture of genuine care and concern.

Secondly, our Workplace Mental Health Peer-Support training enhances communication and problem-solving skills. Participants learn 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.

Finally, our Workplace Peer-Support training enhances overall resilience. Employees 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.
