The benefits of TalkLife Workplace

We are committed to engaging with research, demonstrating our impact and contributing to the evidence base for peer support. We are passionate about peer support and its potential to meet an increasing demand for mental health support. We want to put an end to people struggling alone and reach any employee who needs support. 

​

The benefits of peer support

 

The benefits of peer support are wide-ranging and well evidenced. Research has found that peer support is associated with improvements in mental health including greater happiness and self-esteem, and reductions in depression, loneliness and anxiety (Richard et al. 2022). Other research has found that peer support has the potential to improve physical functioning, quality of life and social functioning (Finnis et al. 2016). 

​

Research into the impact of workplace peer support has also found benefits including a reduction in sick leave and increased staff retention and wellbeing (Odeen et al. 2013, Sedivy et al. 2019).

A recent study (Rickard et al. 2022) also placed TalkLife in the top ten of quality mental health apps, after scoring highly in areas including accessibility, security and privacy, and evidence and clinical base.
