Peer support capability

Build a peer support team people can trust.

Homewood can help organizations develop and train a structured peer support program with clear roles, confidentiality expectations and pathways to professional care. The engagement is shaped to the workforce, operating environment and support systems already in place.

A useful fit when

Start with the organizational need.

These programs address a team or organizational support need. They are scoped differently from a single catalogue session.

01

Public-safety and other high-exposure workforces

02

Healthcare and safety-sensitive organizations

03

Organizations formalizing an existing informal peer network

04

Workplaces seeking an earlier bridge to EFAP and clinical care

How it works

A clear path from need to response.

Exact timing and delivery are confirmed after Homewood understands the organization, affected people and existing support structure.
