Peer Support Resources Cheat-Sheet

When it comes to offering peer support, preparation is key.

Creating a simple resources cheat-sheet gives you quick answers if someone asks where to turn for help, and helps you feel more confident and comfortable in your role as a supporter.

We’ve provided a template below to help you get started. Fill it out with contact info and links and save it on your phone, or print a copy that you can share. Feel free to customize it as you see fit. You might want to add in a quote from this section that resonated with you, or a reminder for yourself that you’re not expected to be an expert.

If you’re unsure of where to find this information, try searching “[your location] + ‘mental health centre’” or “men’s groups in my area.” HeadsUpGuys has information on crisis lines.
