About this service

Peer work, also known as peer support, is a form of mental health support. We had Emily, Peer Work Team Leader at ReachOut, sit down with Marty, a parent, to answer commons questions about what peer work is and how peer workers can support teenagers with their mental health and wellbeing.

This service may help:

  • Understand a mental health service
  • Consider a new support option for your teen
