Workplace Mental Health Leadership Certificate

Skills for Peer Supports

This certificate program trains Peer Supports to provide practical, day-to-day support to coworkers, helping create safer and more inclusive work environments. Peer Supports are not counselors—they use compassionate communication, share experience, reduce stigma, and guide coworkers to mental health resources.

The program is accredited and delivered entirely online. It includes two half-day instructor-led workshops, three e-learning modules, and three online exams.

Up to 25 Peer Supports will be selected by BTA Affiliates to take part. Those who complete the program will become Mental Health Champions on major jobsites.
