Peer Support Workers
Our Peer Support Workers Training and Support programmes are running successfully in hospitals and charity settings with equally successful outcomes and grateful participants.
Many trusts and organisations are introducing and/or providing new support for their PSWs as the demand on wellbeing hubs increases. Our training and support packages bring new strategies and perspectives to the role resulting in more confident, skilled and resilient PSWs.
