Peer Support Programmes
Helping shiftworkers and support each other through connection, education, and practical strategies.
What is Peer Support?
Peer Support is a structured yet informal approach where trained employees provide emotional and practical support to colleagues facing work-related challenges. It is not a counselling service but a workplace-based initiative that builds trust, reduces stigma, and promotes well-being.
Why Peer Support Matters:
- Reducing workplace stress and fatigue.
- Encourages early intervention before issues escalate.
- Strengthens team culture and trust.
- Provides a confidential, supportive space for workers.
Peer Support Training
Our Peer Support Training equips employees with essential skills to support their colleagues effectively.
This training is ideal for shift workers, managers, safety officers, and HR professionals who want to foster a culture of care in their workplace.
Participants will learn:
- Active listening techniques – How to engage in meaningful conversations.
- Recognising signs of fatigue and stress – Identifying when a colleague needs support.
- Practical problem-solving – Offering guidance without overstepping boundaries.
- Confidentiality and ethics – Understanding the limits of Peer Support.
- Referring to professional support when needed – Knowing when and how to escalate concerns.

Our follow-up services include:
- Regular check-ins to discuss challenges and share success stories.
- Advanced skill-building workshops to refine techniques over time.
