Peer Helper information

What is a peer helper?

Peer Helpers are individuals, often students or trained volunteers, who provide support, guidance, and assistance to their peers in various settings such as schools, universities, or community organizations. They are trained to listen, offer advice, and help connect others to appropriate resources when needed. Peer Helpers play a crucial role in fostering a supportive environment and can assist with issues ranging from academic stress to personal challenges. Their goal is to promote well-being and encourage positive mental health among their peers.

What does a peer helper do?

Peer Helpers usually provide emotional support, guidance, and practical information to their peers, often acting as a bridge to professional resources when needed. They may facilitate group discussions, listen to concerns, and help create a supportive environment within schools or organizations. Common challenges include maintaining boundaries, managing confidentiality, and balancing peer helping responsibilities with personal commitments. Effective communication and empathy are crucial, and ongoing training or supervision is often provided to help Peer Helpers navigate these situations.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a peer helper?

To thrive as a Peer Helper, you generally need strong interpersonal skills, active listening abilities, and a background or training in peer support or counseling. Familiarity with communication platforms, crisis intervention protocols, and sometimes basic certifications in mental health first aid or peer support are valuable. Empathy, non-judgmental attitude, and the ability to maintain confidentiality make someone stand out in this role. These skills are essential for building trust, providing effective support, and fostering a safe and supportive environment for peers.

Job description

Blue Sage Healing Centers is an integrative behavioral health organization that specializes in helping our Native brothers and sisters who are struggling with substance abuse. As a Native American owned and operated 501 C., this allows us to better understand and provide the cultural needs to promote healing from factors that are associated with substance abuse: trauma, generational trauma, epigenetics, domestic violence, and abuse. We provide an out-patient, culturally relevant curriculum that is influenced by traditions. We are currently hiring for Peer Supports to help support our clientele during treatment groups and therapy. Peer support specialists offer guidance and support to people who are struggling with substance abuse, psychological trauma, or mental health disorders. They generally have first-hand experience with similar traumatic events or circumstances and work closely with a variety of professionals to provide counseling and rehabilitation.
