When individuals face pressures in work or life, having someone who understands can make a real difference. Through the Talk to a Peer Programme, OdiliaClark provides a confidential space where people can speak openly with trained peers who understand workplace, personal, and community challenges — offering support through shared perspective, empathy, and trust.
In Trusted Hands
Peer support encourages open conversations before concerns develop into more serious difficulties. By listening without judgement and sharing understanding from a peer perspective, individuals feel less alone and more supported in managing stress, personal challenges, and workplace pressures.
Talk to a Peer helps create a culture where wellbeing is prioritised and seeking support is normalised. Early conversations can help prevent prolonged stress, burnout, social isolation, and emotional overwhelm, while signposting to further support ensures individuals remain connected, resilient, and supported.
Talk to a Peer provides a safe and confidential space outside of the organisation, allowing individuals to speak openly with like-minded peers who understand their experiences and challenges.
For any further requests or support send us your questions to info@odiliaclark.com and one of our team will be in touch.
Conversations could be about (but not limited to):
Our Peer support volunteers are trained in listening skills and can signpost to further help if needed. They do not try to ‘fix ‘the issue and are not Mental health professionals but can help organise your thoughts and help you plan a path forward. PSV’s have all completed comprehensive training in supporting colleagues who work in a similar role or industry to yourself. They understand the challenges that working in your sector can present and are fully supported by a team of independent mental health professionals for further support if needed.
If the situation is negatively affecting your sense of mental wellbeing or getting you down then Talk to a Peer can help. We offer a confidential and impartial service and therefore are not able to feedback to the company about the situation or get involved with employee disputes. What we can do is signpost you to potential further support, helping to find ways for you to positively manage the effects of stress and organise you thoughts.
If you know that someone is struggling to reach out for help you can absolutely refer them to Peer support, but we would ask that this is done with their prior consent. Ask them ‘Would you accept a call from peer support?’ If they agree, you can then fill in a ‘request for support’ form for them, or with them. If they have concerns, you could give them a Talk to a peer contact card and ask them to think about it, reiterating the confidential and impartial aspect of the service.
If you believe that their situation is detrimental to operational safety then, as with any safety risk, you should talk to your immediate manager. You can also put in a ‘request for support form’ to ask for help and guidance when approaching a colleague who may benefit from the Talk to a Peer.
To attend the training course and become a Peer Support Volunteer for your workplace and other supported organisations within the greater peer support programme, please contact your organisation or email us at info@talktoapeer.com. Training is by way of a 3 day course with regular supervision and development sessions to keep your skills fresh and ensure you are supported in your role.
