Peer Support Volunteer Training

September 24, 2021

The Duke Peer Support Program trains volunteer colleagues to support their peers. Peer Support Volunteers (PSV’s) listen, help their peers process their experiences, and identify appropriate resources as needed. A Duke employee may wish to talk confidentially with a Duke colleague about stressors in their personal or professional life, such as when they are involved in an adverse event or bad outcome (e.g., safety event, workplace violence event), struggling with a professional loss (e.g., patient or colleague death, grant funding), second guessing their skills and/or knowledge base, struggling at work given a personal issue, experiencing disappointment or conflict in their work environment (e.g., passed over for a promotion, difficult conversation with a supervisor). The initial training is a two-hour, interactive session with practice scenarios, plus a half-hour individual session. We also offer ongoing support, training, and opportunities to discuss best practices.
