Our Peer CARE Companion Warmline is a suicide prevention ‘warmline’ call-back service which has been created by Roses in the Ocean to provide a safe place for people with a lived experience of suicide to connect with others with a similar lived experience of suicide – our Peer CARE Companions.

A lived experience of suicide is:

• having experienced suicidal thoughts,
• survived a suicide attempt,
• supported a loved one through suicidal crisis, or
• been bereaved by suicide.

If you are:

• comfortable talking about suicide and sitting with another person’s distress
• able to listen deeply and let people talk about their experiences

and would like to give back, we would love to hear from you.

We provide you with a phone app to use, you control your roster availability and you will have 48 hrs to return a call once it is allocated to you, giving you plenty of flexibility.

The following training is provided :
Touchpoints Workshop (4.5 hrs) Self paced online modules (4-6 hrs) Peer CARE Companion Workshop (6.5 hrs) Service Induction and some practice calls (3 hrs)
