成人论坛

When our mental health is fragile at work it can often be difficult to know who to talk to, where to get help or just find someone to listen without judgement.

It can be helpful to talk to someone who understands the pressures of the work environment but isn't necessarily a close friend or team member. At the 成人论坛, this role is fulfilled by members of the Peer Support Network.

In this podcast the 成人论坛's Chief Medical Officer Dr Clare Fernandes talks to peer supporter and South-East Today Presenter Natalie Graham.

You'll learn about:
- how peer supporters can support mental health difficulties, including anxiety, depression, stress or crisis situations in work
- what a 成人论坛 peer supporter is - and what they're not
- other support available at the 成人论坛, including the Employee Assistance programme

A transcript is available on the programme page for this podcast.

This episode is part of the 成人论坛 Academy series on wellbeing and mental health in the workplace.
