Industry Peers can't do life for you,
but they can do life with you.

Industry Peers can't do life for you,
but they can do life with you.
Like a coach, peers can offer personalized strategies that lead to successful growth. Though not professional therapists or counselors, trained peers can assist individuals by listening without judgement, offering hope, inspiring change, and accountability.
Peers serve to remove social barriers, connecting individuals with resources that target their own strengths and interests; as well as provide emotional support. Peers focus on what's going right in the present moment, and explore future possibilities in terms of “could” instead of “should.”
Industry Peer Support is based on the fact that no matter how long you've worked in hospitality, there's a good chance we've experienced some common side effects.

Like CULINARECOVERY Student Workshops, CULINARECOVERY Peer Support Training is led by current or former industry professionals who share the goal of killing stigma and saving lives. This training focuses less on statistics and more on strategies to support coworkers experiencing difficulties fueled by exposure to the chaos-driven culture of hospitality.
Topics include: Recovery from Substance Use, Mental Health, Professional Identity and Work/Life Boundaries, Conflict Management, Identification and Intervention of Workplace Violence.
Though facilitators of this group training are NOT professional therapists or counselors, discussion can help motivate individuals to seek professional services when necessary.
Offering peer services in your restaurant can...
... positively impact the way staff interact with each other and people they serve. Trained peers can engage individuals who may otherwise be reluctant to talk about difficult issues, leading to early resignation or termination. The investment in peer support can prevent unnecessary absenteeism, turnover, and burnout.
Trained Industry Peers have had some of the same thoughts...
* "Cooking is my life! I don't even know how to do anything else."
* "Nobody gets it. No 'normie' understands what it's like in this industry."
* "No, I can't take off Friday, or go to your wedding, or put the kids to bed. I gotta work.”
* "I'm never drinking again!"(Twelve hours later...) "Ok. Maybe just one shift drink."
They know the guilt of letting down a loved one, again, by coming home too late, exhausted. They get it, and know why you can't sleep.
They know the rage that boils within when someone wants to modify a dish that took months to perfect. They know why you drink over it.
They know the cost of anger, anxiety, depression, shame, and the fear of not being enough.
