Peer-Helper Training

Over the years, Relais Expert-Conseil has differed from other traditional EAPF providers by its ability to conduct complex mandates using an equal-party approach, where all the members of the company contribute to the better-being of the employees.

Our training experience with peer-helpers has refined itself:

By working in concert with the Network of Social Delegates of the FTQ. We have implemented many training, coaching and collaborative mandates.
Through out training of the entire Network of Canadian Social Delegates of Air Canada invested in the Employee (and their family) Assistance Program.
By conducting many training sessions for the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAMAW). These training sessions have lead to new training programs within their Union.

Other examples of success with regards to peer-helper training :

Training of peer-helpers in order to provide help in the implementation of a new EAPF program – Air Canada & IAMAW (pan-Canadian training from Halifax to Vancouver).
Training in the detection of mental health problems in the workplace: (peer-helpers – Bombardier Aerospace).
Training on psychosocial risks : Washington, Placid Harbour (American Central Union of the IAMAW).
Training on psychosocial risks in the workplace : Georges Meany University – Washington (Unionized Peer-Helper Program ).
Training on the prevention of relapse for the Canadian Network of Regional Coordinators of Air Canada
Training for the TCA-Bombardier (EAPF) and the Fonds de solidarité FTQ (EAPF) joint committees.

Also, we have in the past implemented EAPF steering committees where key players of the organization in matters of help were represented. We have provided training, monitoring and coaching of peer-helpers in the workplace. For example, this model is used at Bombardier Aerospace since 2004. We provide similar services for a new factory employing 2000 unionized TCA workers since 2008.

In closing, Mr. Luc Chabot, President & CEO of Relais Expert-Conseil, was trained at the Université d’Annecy and in Cape Town, South Africa, by the International Labour Organization (ILO – United Nations Agency) in order to become SOLVE director (project on psychosocial micro-trainings in the workplace).
