What is Beyond Silence?

The Beyond Silence app is designed to be a “mental health coach in your pocket” for healthcare workers. The app provides a variety of resources, customized for healthcare workers, that are designed to promote early intervention and support for the mental health of healthcare workers as well as promote psychological health and safety in the workplace. Embedded within the app are peer support services, which app users will be able to access on-demand (6am-midnight across Canada 7 days a week) or make an appointment to connect with a peer mentor. Healthcare workers can use these peer support calls in a number of ways including debriefing difficult work events, mental health check-ins, general peer support conversations about workplace related mental health challenges, receive a guided meditation, or be coached through a breath exercise or grounding technique.

To ensure successful implementation, organizations should:

  •  Screen and select a group of employees who are willing to be trained to provide peer support to colleagues. Onboarding tools are available to help orient your peer support team to the Beyond Silence platform
  • Identify a team who will be in charge of implementation within the organization to ensure that information about the app is clearly communicated and to respond to employees questions/concerns.​
  • Organizations should recognize peer supporters contributions and sustain engagement by offering them meaningful compensation—such as monetary rewards, time in lieu, or certificates.
  • Free peer support training and ongoing support for employee volunteers within your organization who are willing to provide peer support via the Beyond Silence app
  • Free access to the Beyond Silence app, a tool that provides private, on-demand, evidence-based mental health information that is customized for healthcare organizations
  • Employee access to trained peer support providers both within and outside your organization
  • Free access to onboarding and orientation materials for employees to access the app that has customized resources for your organization
  • Free access to the Beyond Silence Administrative Portal, a web based tool for organizational champions to manage resources, communication, and the operational aspects of peer support services. It tracks app usage, user feedback, and peer support activity to provide insights into engagement and quality of service.
