Who are we?
Talk for Health is a social enterprise that believes everyone benefits from the opportunity to talk, to share, and to give as well as receive support. We offer a free counselling skills peer programme.
What do we do?
Through initial Intros to Peer Counselling Skills and 4-day Full Peer Counselling Skills Programmes, Talk for Health aims to provide people with the skills to talk more openly and truthfully, to listen empathetically, and to gain basic counselling skills.
Participants go on to join ongoing support groups - Talk for Health Chair & Share Groups - and/or set up their own ongoing groups, where they connect, share, and support each other using the guidelines and skills learnt on the initial programme. Talk for Health Chair & Share Groups are usually chaired by Talk for Health graduates who have completed the 1-day Train the Chair training. Other groups are self-generated by participants.
