When employees reach a challenging moment, having someone who truly gets it can make all the difference. Through Talk to a Peer, OdiliaClark provides structured peer support from people with lived experience in your industry; trusted colleagues who listen, empathise, and help individuals navigate what comes next, within a clinically governed framework.
Trained peer volunteers share their own journeys, helping others feel heard and understood without judgement. This mutual understanding builds trust and rapport faster than a purely clinical relationship.
Our peer support is practical and experience-led, helping with stress, coping strategies, self-awareness, and resilience. Support is delivered by trained peer supporters, with clear boundaries and provide access to clinical professionals when escalation is required.
Talk to a Peer provides confidential, independent conversations outside your organisation, connecting individuals with trained peers who share industry experience and understand the realities of the role.
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.
