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

I can't either although I just thought that there had been some tweeks to it and that means I have no new newbies.

I have been checking and i dont think anyone has added me as a welcomer yet. But i dont know if i am doing it right as i tested it out with any and it came up exactly the same.

I am following the steps i was given though.......

I just dont wanna miss anyone and let them down........

There are quite a few of you that new members can choose from now, so it may take some time before you are added, keep checking. In the mean welcoming people through the introductions threads etc

Josh,

Can i just check, are the welcomers also doing live peer support or is it just that we have the same label but with welcomer above it?

Ok... so I'm stuck here.... I get to the third point but when it says 'choose your name from the drop down list'.... what list?? where?? and plus I see no 'go' button... or am I just being dum here? or is it because no one has chosen me yet??
