em Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 What is peer support Peer support offers people the chance to talk 1-1 with someone who also suffers mental health issues. It is not a professional service and cannot take calls from people if they are suicidal. To access peer support click on the live chat icon at the bottom of the forums or where it appears in a signiture. Who does peer support? People who do peer support are members of the forums who have offered their time to support others. They are not professionals and have no training. However they do suffer from mental health issues themselves, so do know how it feels to have mental health issues and some of the problems arising from this. How can i do peer support? If you would like to become a member of the peer support team please contact Lily she will then asses if she thinks youd be good. WELCOMERS We not longer have welcomers this is now the job of the peersupporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
