All About Peer Support

      Peer Support is the biggest asset in your organization.

​

  • Statistics show that people are more likely to open up to their friends, family, coworkers, and peers if they are going through a stressful time. [Mental Health Commission of Canada] 

​

  • When businesses adopt policies and programs to address psychological safety and health, they see between 15% to 33% lower costs related to psychological health issues.

​

 Peers supporting each other at a boots-on-the-ground level is exactly what makes CISM so effective in the workplace. 

Benefits of building a peer support team at work.

Building trusting relationships internally amongst coworkers improves quality of work and reduces:

​

•   Stress leave time

  • Increases recovery time

  • Reduces absenteeism

  • Reduces turnover

​

Peer Support

CISM was built around peer support because of its capability for early intervention, which makes it effective when used as an internal peer support program.​

​

Structured Debrief

Lessens the impact of a traumatic event by walking co-workers though guided questions and steps to help them mentally "digest" the event. 

72 Hours

CISM guidelines show the importance of a debrief conversation within 72 hours after a critical incident. This is what makes peer support so effective at CISM support.
