They are trained to listen, offer advice, and help connect others to appropriate resources when needed.

Their goal is to promote well-being and encourage positive mental health among their peers.

Effective communication and empathy are crucial, and ongoing training or supervision is often provided to help Peer Helpers navigate these situations.
